Alberta Innovates and Partners invest in innovative geothermal technology
In a gathering today many were witness to the construction of the Eavor-Lite™ demonstration facility and therein a World’s first of its kind drilling operation.
Eavor Technologies Inc. has developed an innovative “made in Alberta” geothermal energy solution. In a demonstration project near Rocky Mountain House, the Eavor-Lite™ project uses existing Alberta oil and gas drilling technology and expertise to facilitate a revolutionary and unique energy system known as “Eavor-Loop™”.
The Eavor-Lite™ demonstration project is designed to showcase Eavor’s unique and proprietary design elements. The demonstration project began drilling in early August and will test the technology at near-commercial scale. The facility once complete serves as a testbed an proxy for commercial Eavor-Loop™ implementations globally.
