(Jessop, 1995), and for the 12 western swimming pool, 15 MWth and 360 TJ/yr. This gives a total of 1,126 MWth and 8,873 TJ/yr. In British Columbia the government has lent support to the direct use geothermal energy industry through funding made available under the Innovative Clean Energy Fund (ICE Fund). Fairfield Propagators Ltd. won $ 1.26 M in funding under the program for a unique demonstration project promoting the use of geothermal energy systems. The 12-acre greenhouse facility in Chilliwack - the largest lily and chrysanthemum grower in the province - currently uses natural gas and electricity for winter heating and summer cooling, which generates about 2,900 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and costs roughly $ 500,000 per year. The project is expected to replace the current heating/cooling system with an open-loop geothermal energy heat pump system, using ground water at different temperatures to either heat or cool the buildings, minimizing GHG emissions and providing lower-cost energy. The project includes a demonstration component – the Geothermal Technology-Transfer Centre in order to showcase the process for greenhouse growers, businesses and institutions. There is one larger project proposed in the Northwest Territories (Table 22.2). Table 22.2 Proposed large district heating scheme for Yellowknife, Canada. Project Proponent Location Northwest Con Mine City of Yellowknife Territories Status District Heating utilizing retired coal mine, federal funding made available in 2010 22.4 Market Development, Stimulation and Constraints 22.4.1 DevelopmentConstraints Currently there are a number of constraints to the development of Canada‘s geothermal energy resources. Perhaps most notable is the lack of education and awareness for the geothermal power sector, which remains somewhat of a foreign concept to both Canadian citizens and politicians. Unlike other nations who have embraced geothermal energy for decades, the industry is still new to Canadians and holds a lower priority in the context of rich fossil fuel and hydro resources, not to mention a focus on wind, run of river, and solar energy sources in the renewable energy sector. Transmission and power purchase agreements will likely also be a major concern for project development and affect project financings. The Canadian Geothermal Energy Association is working to pave the way for progressive policies in transmission access and clean power calls to enable the development of geothermal resources. 22.4.2 SupportInitiativesandMarketStimulationIncentives Presently, financial incentives exist in Canada for the installation of low-temperature heat pump systems in homes and businesses, however there have been no measures aimed at stimulating growth in high-temperature geothermal power projects. In an effort to improve the efficiency of heating older buildings, a homeowner or small business may qualify to have up to 25% of the cost of a heat pump system reimbursed by the federal government, to a maximum of C$ 50,000. Several Canadian financial institutions also offer favourable loan programs to finance the installation of heat pump systems, in consideration of the amount of time required to recuperate the initial investment cost. 261PDF Image | Geothermal Research and Tech IEA
