Why Alberta Needs a Geothermal Greenhouse Pilot Project
Why Alberta Needs a Geothermal Greenhouse Pilot Project Albertans are justifiably proud of their traditional farming practices and outstanding agricultural achievements. Relying solely on seasonal crops may leave us vulnerable to unpredictable fluctuating global markets, supply interruptions, and climate events. A greenhouse industry could help solve these problems. In times of global, social, and economic…

Benefits of Algar Geothermal’s Technology
Community Benefits of Algar Geothermal’s technology Algar Geothermal’s technology provides the opportunity to reduce food insecurity in urban areas, and especially in Northern Rural Communities. Food insecurity has severe consequences on health and well‑being; it has been linked to malnutrition, infections, chronic diseases, obesity, distress, social exclusion, depression and suicidal ideation. Imagine living in a…
Algar’s Life Cycle carbon footprint
Comparison – Algar vs. other Energy Sources Our research indicates that Algar Geothermal’s technology has the lowest Life Cycle carbon footprint of any of the worlds most commonly used energy sources, including solar and wind. This chart shows GHG emissions in grams per kwh from some commonly used energy sources. Electrical power produced by natural…

Create a geothermal based circular economy
Develop a net zero agri-tech circular economy The potential to use several geothermal heat applications in one location With the Increased quantities of heat production it may be possible to combine numerous agri-businesses that are synergistic. In simple terms waste products from one business could be used in other businesses for improved food production at…
Heat recovery simulations with SLB’s OLGA Dynamic Multiphase Flow Simulator
Performing heat recovery simulations with SLB’s OLGA Dynamic Multiphase Flow Simulator Our Findings This chart shows depth versus fluid temperature. The orange line represents the temperature at various depths The red arrow shows the fluid temperature at the top of the well as the fluid enters the well. The blue arrow shows the fluid temperature…

Heat Demand Varies through the year
Heat Demand Varies through the year Energy for space heating Our enhanced technology can produce heat for space heating, but the output temperatures are not high enough to produce electrical power. This is due to the lower temperatures in the geothermal gradient in our ideal locations. There are locations with enough heat energy in Alberta,…
Algar Geothermal Technology Overview
The basics of Algar Geothermal’s Technology Image supplied by Stream-Flo Industries In this Algar Geothermal technology overview, we look at why Algar has developed unique enhancements to extract low grade heat energy from an out of service oil or gas well, or a purpose drilled well for our solution. Algar’s process uses a single wellbore…
Origin of Algar Geothermal
In 2015 Algar incorporated as a clean tech company based in Calgary, Alberta. Our plan is to convert end of life oil and gas wells to geothermal heat production. We needed a company name so we decided remove the C and the Y from Calgary. This is the origin of Algar Geothermal. We lose the…

Socioeconomic benefits of Geothermal technology
How Algar Geothermal can benefit remote communities The challenge: Communities in remote locations with harsh growing climates have long faced food supply issues. These communities often rely on a fragile supply chain that can be easily disrupted by weather or other factors. Harsh winters and limited access to transportation infrastructure only exacerbate this problem. Current…

How Secure is Alberta’s Food Supply?
An example: Britain’s food supply is becoming more volatile While Alberta is somewhat insulated from global political instability, other countries are feeling the pinch in their food supply chain. For example, Britain is having supply chain issues in their vegetable and produce markets. The conflict in Ukraine has caused an increase in energy costs, causing…
Using an out of service oil and gas well as a source of geothermal energy
Using an out of service oil and gas well as a source of geothermal energy As the world continues to grapple with climate change, many governments and organizations are looking for new ways to tap into renewable forms of energy. One way that is gaining attention is using out-of-service oil or gas wells as a…
