22.2.2.3 Other Canadian Provinces and Territories Many other jurisdictions in Canada are pursuing aggressive plans to initiate and develop alternative and renewable means of energy production. Quebec and Ontario, similar to British Columbia, have each adopted progressive energy policies that promote renewable electricity and heat production through incentives and attractive government policies. Geothermal energy has largely been left out of these programs as the resource is either less tangible or insufficient without EGS technology in these regions. However there is also great opportunity for co-produced fluids, geo- pressure, and direct use applications throughout Canada. Ultimately there is great interest in examining future opportunities for geothermal development and the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association is active in promoting this valuable resource throughout Canada. 22.2.3 ProgresstowardsNationalTargets The Canadian federal government initiated a target of deriving 90% of Canada‘s power production from ―non-emitting‖ sources by 2020. Presently, Canada generates 70% of its electricity from ―non- emitting‖ sources. Over 50% of Canada‘s total power production is derived from hydroelectric generation. It has been made clear through Canadian geothermal interests that geothermal energy could contribute materially towards this national goal. The Canadian Geothermal Energy Association, which represents the high-temperature geothermal industry in Canada, maintains that with proper legislation and support, 5,000 megawatts of geothermal power could be harnessed feasibly by 2015 – roughly seven percent of Canada‘s current electricity consumption. 22.2.4 GovernmentExpenditureonGeothermalResearchandDevelopment Federal support for geothermal power production has been limited to indirect research on mapping the heat resources of Canada. This research however is lacking in providing hydrological and rock permeability data that is essential to geothermal power projects and development. 22.2.5 IndustryExpenditureonGeothermalR&D As mentioned above, most of the Canadian geothermal players are working outside of Canada, so while progress is happening, it happens outside of the country. So with development mostly in the United States and South America, the expenditure, in parts supported by the U.S. Department of Energy‘s Geothermal Technologies Program, is done outside of Canada, but could easily be applied in the Canadian context. While some oil and gas players have taken steps towards some R&D efforts in the geothermal field, they are at the most to be considered marginal. On behalf of its members, the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association produced a variety of industry reports, available on its website. 22.3 Status of Geothermal Energy Use 22.3.1 Electricity Generation Canada currently has seven active projects under development (Figure 22.1) but is yet to have any geothermal power supplied to the grid. It is anticipated that this situation may change in 2011 as Canada‘s first geothermal project (a co-produced fluids joint venture) comes online. 22.3.1.1 Total Electricity Generated There is currently no geothermal electricity produced in Canada. 258PDF Image | Geothermal Research and Tech IEA
