Alberta No. 1 | Catherine Hickson on CORE Knowledge Podcast

In the heart of the Alberta Oil patch is a geothermal project aimed at exploiting the hot fluids at around 12,000 ft and bringing them to the surface to provide clean, dispatchable, flexible baseload power to the grid. Why in the middle of the Oil patch? There are some benefits such as the vast amount of temperature data readily available due to the sheer volume of wells, but there is also competition in the form of cheap natural gas and electricity. This is a conversation you will not want to miss as I sit down with Catherine Hickson, CEO of the Alberta No. 1 project to talk about the frontier work, legislation, financing, economics, challenges and so much more.
