Geothermal Energy harnesses the heat of the Earth. At least two wells into hot rock containing a water reservoir. The water is circulated up through a steam turbine, and then returned to the reservoir. Water may also be injected into a formation of hot, dry rock.
Two of Canada’s leading geothermal companies are based in Alberta.
