22.7 Research Activities 22.7.1 Focusareas To date, much of the research focus has been in regard to the heat resources of Canada with little attention paid to other factors such as hydrological or rock composition criteria, which may be crucial to resource development. Going forward, the industry will have to work with governments to focus their efforts on prominent areas of research that will benefit the industry‘s growth. 22.7.2 Government Funded Canadian governments, both provincial and federal, have intermittently supported geothermal resource development for over 100 years. The first such projects supported through government initiatives related to direct use applications such as hot springs along the Canadian western railroad dating back to the late 1800s. As the railroad progressed west several naturally occurring hot springs were discovered and subsequently developed into world renowned tourist attractions and national parks. For much of the 20th century the focus would remain on developing hot springs for direct use applications for recreational and therapeutic use. In the early 1980s, as energy prices soared, governments turned their attention to finding new and renewable source of energy. As such the Canadian federal government, through the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Geological Survey of Canada, initiated studies to explore Canada‘s geothermal energy potential for electricity production. Unfortunately, as energy prices returned to affordable levels this early exploratory work was abandoned and no formal report was published. For the most part Canada‘s geothermal power sector lay dormant for much of the following two decades while interest in the industry continued to grow outside of Canada‘s borders. Today governments of all levels are keenly interested in examining the many benefits of adopting geothermal energy to meet increasing power and heating demands across the country. Four geothermal projects have recently received government funding for pilot demonstration projects and research initiatives. 22.7.3 FederallyFundedGeothermalProjects 22.7.3.1 Ft. Liard, Northwest Territories The Ft. Liard community-based geothermal demonstration project is a collaborative effort supported by the federal government, the Acho Dene Koe First Nation, and Borealis GeoPower Inc. The project is the first of its kind in Canada and is funded through the Natural Resources Canada Clean Energy Fund. Using existing well data from nearby abandoned oil & gas projects the project aims to generate both heat and power for the community of roughly 600 residents. This project will demonstrate how a northern community can use a geothermal resource to generate electricity and heat, thereby reducing the entire community‘s fossil fuel demand and energy costs. A successful demonstration will provide a model for other northern and First Nations communities with available geothermal resources. Federal project funding is in the amount of $10–$20 million.
