The role that research centers play in any energy ecosystem are extremely vital. We have seen this play out in the Oil and Gas space, mining, environmental, and so on. Well, Geothermal is no different. The Cascade Institute is on a mission to unlock ultra-deep geothermal resources within Canada specifically with the hopes that it spurs traction globally. I sit down with Peter Massie, the Director of the Geothermal Energy Office with the institute and dive into some of the key goals they hope to accomplish in the coming years.
The role that research centers play in any energy ecosystem are extremely vital. We have seen this play out in the Oil and Gas space, mining, environmental, and so on. Well, Geothermal is no different. The Cascade Institute is on a mission to unlock ultra-deep geothermal resources within Canada specifically with the hopes that it spurs traction globally. From funding models, policy support, to in field test sites where technology can be de-risked unlocking critical investment dollars, these institutes are a key piece to the energy ecosystem. This episode features Peter Massie, the Director of the Geothermal office at the Cascade Institute and we touch on many of these topics and more, so come have a listen.
