Canadian Energy Leaders Unite to Advance Deep Geothermal Power

The Cascade Institute convened leaders from industry, government, Indigenous organizations, and civil society in Ottawa recently for a Geothermal Accelerator Conference, looking to seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity: making Canada a global leader in geothermal power.

At the close of the conference, organizers released a declaration of intent to establish a Canadian Deep Geothermal Coalition to accelerate the development of geothermal energy in Canada. The declaration has so far been signed by representatives of twenty-three companies and organizations.
 
Deep geothermal energy leverages drilling expertise from the oil and gas sector to convert heat from deep within the Earth into clean, secure, and affordable power and heat. While traditional geothermal energy is limited to regions with naturally occurring hot-water reservoirs, deep geothermal technologies the potential to unlock clean, reliable, baseload power anywhere across Canada. That’s why signatories have agreed to present a Deep Geothermal Roadmap at the World Geothermal Congress in 2026 in Calgary that will lay out the steps required to stand up a competitive geothermal sector in Canada.
The signatories invite Canada’s federal and provincial governments to join signatories in developing the Roadmap.
 
“Canada has built some of the most capable drilling, engineering, and project-delivery expertise in the world, and that expertise is already being leveraged to drive geothermal innovation,” said Jeanine Vany, co-founder and EVP Corporate Affairs at Eavor Technologies.
 
“The Canadian Deep Geothermal Coalition seeks to deliver on Canada’s strengths, putting forward a vision for technology development and commercial applications, both domestically and abroad, that can advance energy security and prosperity for all Canadians.”
 
“Deep geothermal power could serve as the backbone of Canada’s future energy mix,” said Cascade Institute Executive Director Thomas Homer-Dixon. “No other technology is better positioned to deliver on the Prime Minister’s commitment to make Canada a clean and conventional energy superpower."
 
The coalition’s roadmap development work will focus on:
  • Mobilizing expertise across sectors to build a world-class, Canadian-headquartered geothermal value chain.
  • Building the case for geothermal energy in Canada by quantifying and publicizing the benefits related to job creation, export revenue, reduced emissions, grid resilience, energy diversification, and security.
  • Identifying the policies, financing tools, and frameworks needed to reduce risk and accelerate deployment.
  • Advancing a research-and-innovation agenda through test centres that keep Canada at the leading edge of geothermal technologies.
  • Engaging Indigenous communities as rights holders, owners, and decision makers, to help shape Canada’s geothermal future.
  • Upholding high standards for environmental stewardship and risk management.
