Terrapin Geothermics is deploying its homegrown renewable energy technology in its native province of Alberta. The company has a process that can generate renewable electricity from industrial waste streams. Its technology can also be used to generate electricity from the province’s abandoned, suspended or orphaned oil and gas wells.

The Terrapin Engine was developed in conjunction with the University of Alberta.

Geothermal power “directly leverages Alberta's skilled labour, conventional well infrastructure and extensive drilling expertise,” said Sean Collins, president of Terrapin Geothermics.

Terrapin is now working with many Alberta counties and communities to map and better understand the geothermal energy and waste-heat resource potential in their regions. The goal is to demonstrate how this form of renewable energy can create local jobs, put drilling and manufacturing industries back to work, lower electricity costs and contribute to Alberta's climate change leadership role.
