Canada: Aquaponics Farm to Use Direct Source of Geothermal Heat for Plant Growth

Construction on Yukon aquaponics facility could begin this spring (CBC)

New plan would use geothermal energy near Takhini hot springs, proponents say

Some entrepreneurs in Yukon say they've found a creative way to move their project forward � by using geothermal power. Founders of Yukon's North Star Agriculture have been pushing to build an aquaponics facility in Yukon, which would raise fish and vegetables indoors. 

CEO Sonny Gray says the company has now secured funding to build a facility near the Takhini hot springs, outside Whitehorse. Gray says that using geothermal power for the project could reduce energy costs by at least a third.

The plan is to use warm water that drains from the Takhini Hot Pools. The water won't touch the plants, but its heat will be used year-round to cycle through heat exchangers and pipes in the floor.

Germany: The First German Geothermally Heated Greenhouse

Geothermal energy is on the rise in vegetable production (Hortidaily)

The first German geothermally heated greenhouse is located in Kirchweidach [in the district of Alt�tting in Bavaria]; it belongs to the Steiner vegetable farm. All heating is supplied by the neighboring geothermal plant. The photovoltaic system on the roof of the operating halls offers a self-contained power supply. 

This is how vegetable cultivation can be done  regionally and climate-friendly without the use of fossil fuels. Geothermal heat is used to grow tomatoes, peppers and strawberries, reported the German Geothermal Association.

USA, Massachusetts: East Coast Geothermal Energy Developer Aims For Over 10 GW of Renewable Energy Infrastructure Over the Next 30-years

Eden GeoPower Seeks Investors (News Release)


(Video 1:45 Minutes)

Eden GeoPower Inc. is revolutionizing the energy industry by combining renewable energy and blockchain to develop off-grid geothermal resources. The value created will be in the form of a security token built, designed, and distributed by Eden.

Our strategy is to:

1. Take advantage of the low-hanging fruit which is to use existing geothermal resources for energy production and 
2. support and develop future technologies for commercialization of �Enhanced Geothermal Systems�. 

Our company's goal is to be directly involved with the development of over 10 GW of renewable energy infrastructure over the next 30-years. Each geothermal power plant that we develop will be capable of producing up to 50 MW of renewable geothermal energy, for up to 30 years, and at a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) below 5c/kWh.

To do so, Eden GeoPower will be financing each of its power plants� capital investment through the digital issuance of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). This digital SPV will take the form of a token, and will grant its holder (investor) ownership of a project, as well as recurrent dividends from that project�s net earnings.
