April 5, 2021 – The Clarke Lake Geothermal Development Project in northern British Columbia got an injection of nearly $40.5 million in federal investments to develop its geothermal electricity production facility, and showcase its commercial viability.
The wholly owned and Indigenous-led project is being developed in the existing Clarke Lake gas field, and will use the mid-grade geothermal heat resources in its reservoir to reduce emissions by displacing fossil fuels, reports Natural Resources Canada, adding the project will also demonstrate “the value of geothermal energy as a viable clean energy technology for rural, Indigenous and northern communities”.
