Alberta is a province defined by its resilience and its resources. For decades, we have been the engine of Canada’s energy sector, and our farmers have been the backbone of our food supply. However, as we look toward the future, we face a systemic challenge that threatens both of these pillars: the rising cost and […]

Alberta stands at a critical juncture in the global energy transition. As we look toward a future defined by the imperative of net-zero emissions, we are faced with a dual challenge: the need to decarbonize our intensive heating sectors and the growing environmental and financial liability of out-of-service oil and gas infrastructure. At Algar Geothermal,

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,

The basics of Algar Geothermal’s Technology Enhancing existing technology This concept is not new, and past experiments and installations have demonstrated that heat energy can be extracted. However, the amount of extracted heat has not been high enough for practical use. Since 2017, Algar Geothermal is using SLB’s (formerly Schlumberger) Olga dynamic multiphase flow simulator,

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
