Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) R&D Program, Status Report: Foreign Research on Enhanced Geothermal Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This report reviews enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) research outside the United States. The term ''enhanced geothermal systems'' refers to the use of advanced technology to extract heat energy from underground in areas with higher than average heat flow but where the natural permeability or fluid content is limited.

Development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) in Northern Alberta

open access: yes, 2015
In the province of Alberta a huge amount of energy is needed for diverse applications. Specifically, the demand for heat is limited to a few locations such as the oil sands operation regions and metropolitan areas. Oil sands processing facilities near Fort McMurray and direct heat provision for different applications in the City of Edmonton are two of ...
