Canada: Overview of Kitselas Geothermal Project in BC

Kitselas Geothermal & Borealis GeoPower: Geothermal District Energy (Clean50.com)

This project is a novel approach to geothermal energy development for base-load electricity and renewable heating/cooling alternatives. Important rare earth elements (minerals and metals) can also be dissolved in geothermal brines, thus opening new avenues to ethical mining in the well-established BC mining industry. Resource permitting and conceptual engineering design for geothermal and mining development have been completed.

Once the flow rates of the geothermal wells are established, the resource can be matched to the energy needs for electricity and heating/cooling.

As the first company in British Columbia to undergo this process, Kitselas Geothermal Inc. has made some breakthroughs associated with permitting. They have successfully navigated the many government policies and programs before them, setting a course for other geothermal companies to seek permits and begin projects of their own.
