Calgary is hosting the World Geothermal Congress for the first time in North America. Industry representatives say global interest in Alberta's thermal energy resources is higher than ever. The conference brings together experts to discuss geothermal development, which could provide low-carbon heat and power for the region. Geothermal energy offers a consistent baseload renewable source, unlike wind or solar. Alberta's geology, including hot sedimentary aquifers and deeper enhanced systems, is seen as promising. The event signals growing momentum for projects that could decarbonize heating and electricity in the province.
