Whitehorse sits atop a promising geothermal resource—maybe one of Canada’s best, and developing geothermal energy would strengthen this country’s national security by strengthening relations with Arctic allies.

In February I explained how next-generation geothermal works. Six months later, the technology is the settled part, and the capital is the story.

Questor Technology Inc. ("Questor" or the "Company") (TSX-V: QST) announces that it has received funding of $305,060 from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) in support of the research and development of Questor's 1500 kW Organic Rankine Cycle ("ORC") Heat-to-Power Generation System.

Geothermal is being used worldwide to generate electricity and warm buildings around the clock, with no fuel costs and virtually no emissions. But geothermal energy is almost completely absent from the Canadian energy landscape—not because we don’t have it, but because it has never been treated as the gold mine it is in this country.

Metatek Group Ltd. ("Metatek" or the "Company"), the exclusive global provider of Enhanced Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry ("eFTG") and Digital Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry ("dFTG"), announces that the data acquisition is underway on new survey programs in Japan and Azerbaijan, deploying the Company's eFTG and dFTG technologies.

Right now, it is not always clear which research groups have the equipment, capabilities, and expertise to tackle key barriers to deploying geothermal anywhere it is needed on a global scale. To close that gap, CATF has launched a new, free-to-use tool: the Geothermal Frontier Knowledge Sharing Platform.

The Acho Dene Koe First Nation says it is exploring the possibility of using heat from the Earth to warm houses and a greenhouse in Fort Liard.

Old Dutch Foods has opened a new office and warehouse facility in Slemon Park, Summerside, P.E.I., which integrates solar, geothermal and energy recovery technologies to support long-term operational efficiency.

Barkley Project Group visited Hot Springs Cove to connect with community members and support the next steps of the Community Energy Plan.
