Research summary
As the effects of climate change intensify, it is more essential than ever to better protect, conserve and develop our natural, land and water resources. As Canada Research Chair in the Analysis of Sustainable Geoenergy Systems, Dr. Jasmin Raymond is contributing to the fight against climate change by examining the potential of geoenergy systems developed within the Earth’s crust.
Raymond and his research team are conducting an in-depth study of the geoenergy systems we must develop to become a carbon-neutral nation. They are looking at geothermal systems, the underground storage of green hydrogen, and natural hydrogen exploration. They are carrying out their work in natural laboratories in rural and isolated communities, including traditional First Peoples lands in the far north. Raymond and his team are prioritizing innovative approaches to the modelling of thermal transfer phenomena within the Earth’s crust to facilitate these communities’ energy transitions. Ultimately, their work will serve as a catalyst for the development of geoenergy systems.
