It's Canadian Innovation Week! This week we will be sharing #innovationforgood stories and invite you to take on our daily innovation challenge. To kick off the week, we're highlighting a company that is #innovatingfortheplanet and encourage you to share your repurposing and upcycling stories. Out of the 436,000 oil and gas wells drilled in Alberta, around 19% (or 88,433) have been abandoned. While most people might see this as wasteful, GeoGen saw an opportunity to breathe new life into old wells. Bryan Zintel and Matt Hogg are disrupting how geothermal energy is harvested and converted into electricity! By repurposing end-of-life wells, GeoGen’s innovation increases output from the well, offering the best potential to produce gigawatts of geothermal electricity. An Individual GeoGen conversion can power 110 homes 24/7 with enough wells to power over 12 million homes in North America! Since GeoGen’s technology is focused inside the well, upcycling existing wells lowers the risks and capital costs required to commercialize the technology, ultimately creating an opportunity to deliver clean, reliable and affordable heat and power anywhere in the world!. GeoGen is a resident member of our Energy Transition Centre, which supports entrepreneurs accelerating Canada’s #energytransition. The Energy Transition Centre partnership with Avatar Innovations Inc. provides startups with expert support and advice on moving technology from ideation to implementation.  Watch GeoGen Technologies Inc.’s Pitch at Startup TNT’s Cleantech Investment Summit to learn about how their techonology is #innovatingfortheplanet: https://lnkd.in/gFgzb6NA -- Although GeoGen is tackling repurposing and upcycling oil wells on a grand scale, we can all participate on a small scale too! Here are 170 #upcycling ideas in which you can #innovatefortheplanet: https://lnkd.in/gxu74YUd CHALLENGE: Share your #repurposing and #upcycling stories and tag them with #CIW23 so that we can celebrate them together!

SAGA is proud to welcome back instructor Richard Baker with his masterclass CO₂ Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)! To quote the man himself - "it's critical that we make carbon capture and storage a viable option. And the reason I did this course in the first place was I wanted to introduce techniques that I think are critical to make practical evaluations of these reservoirs." - Richard Baker This course is available to SAGA subscribers now! https://lnkd.in/gN4Cc58g #masterclass #ccus #carboncapture #carbonstorage #onlinecourses https://lnkd.in/gKdzGh2H
