E2E Energy Solutions has partnered with Novus Earth to develop a geothermal energy project near Hinton, Alberta, Canada.

Construction on the project, called Latitude 53 Hinton, will commence in early 2025.

It aims to harness geothermal energy for sustainable agriculture and clean power generation.

The project is a two-phase endeavour with the first phase focusing on geothermal energy for year-round strawberry cultivation in a 20-acre greenhouse.

The facility will benefit from up to 50 gigajoules of heat per hour, thanks to E2E's technology.

The second phase involves E2E’s enhanced geothermal reservoir recovery system (EGRRS) to produce 10MW of zero-emission electricity.

EGRRS focuses on repurposing depleted oil and gas production assets like existing wellbores, pipelines and reservoirs.

Novus Earth president Jeff Mesner stated: “We are looking forward to introducing this innovative approach to thermal and electrical generation to Alberta.

“Our partnership with E2E Energy Solutions perfectly aligns with our mission to leverage advanced geothermal technology for sustainable, community-centered projects.”

The Latitude 53 initiative will stimulate economic growth and job creation in Hinton and the surrounding West Yellowhead region. It has secured funding from the government of Canada and will be supported by Ormat Technologies.

E2E Energy Solutions CEO Nick Daprocida stated: “We’re very pleased to see our EGRRS technology integrated into a project that will bring stable, affordable energy to Alberta.

“This project demonstrates how geothermal energy can contribute to creating sustainable jobs and delivering reliable baseload power to the agricultural sector.”

E2E Energy Solutions is focused on the design and development of economically viable solutions for a sustainable net zero carbon future. Novus Earth aims to create a more sustainable future via geothermal energy innovations.
