The Algar Geothermal Advantage – Economic Benefits
In today’s economic climate, anything that can be done to reduce the cost of food products and increase food security is a bonus. Here’s how Algar Geothermal can provide economic benefits to Alberta, Canada and indeed anyone that uses Algar’s technology:
- Investment capital will flow to the Agri-tech industry to build new facilities or expand existing ones
- Alberta’s Agri-tech industry will be more cost competitive with imported products due to lower energy costs, and a longer growing season.
- Innovation will come to Alberta’s Agri-tech industry as products are produced in areas where growing seasons were too short, and facility heating was too expensive
- The direct employment that will be supported by implementation of the project:
- creation of new temporary and permanent jobs for oilfield services companies that install the equipment
- suppliers of materials
- retention of the Agri-tech workforce
- Employment opportunities in the community
- Support of operator/contractors to monitor and run the heating systems
