This was an open consultation submission regarding the BC New Industry Net Zero Policy submitted to: GHGregulator@gov.ab.ca

In our comments on the plans to incentivize compliance to Net-Zero, CanGEA commended the option of offset projects. However, In order to accommodate the needs of the geothermal industry and our participation in offset projects and contribution to emission reductions, it is imperative that BC draft targeted fiscal support for geothermal development in the Clean BC programs and accommodate off-site geothermal offset projects. Furthermore, the government should play its role in giving equal visibility to geothermal as it does to other technologies and energy industries. Footnote1
