The role that research centers play in any energy ecosystem are extremely vital. We have seen this play out in the Oil and Gas space, mining, environmental, and so on. Well, Geothermal is no different. The Cascade Institute is on a mission to unlock ultra-deep geothermal resources within Canada specifically with the hopes that it spurs traction globally. From funding models, policy support, to in field test sites where technology can be de-risked unlocking critical investment dollars, these institutes are a key piece to the energy ecosystem. This episode features Peter Massie, the Director of the Geothermal office at the Cascade Institute and we touch on many of these topics and more, so come have a listen.

The Future of Geothermal. What is it and how does it play out? The recent report by the IEA with the aforementioned title "The Future of Geothermal" goes into detail on the past, present and future of geothermal, new technologies, startups, oil and gas crossover, and so much more. It is well worth a read, but in the meantime, I sat down with Heymi Bahar, a senior analyst with the IEA to talk about the report in detail, giving a view into what the future may indeed hold for this amazing resource - the heat beneath our feet.
