The Tier 1 Canada Research Chair on Sustainable Geoenergy Systems Analysis<\/a> examines the potential of energy resources found within the Earth\u2019s crust to support Canada\u2019s transition to a carbon\u2011neutral future. By focusing on geothermal energy, underground green hydrogen storage and natural hydrogen, the Chair aims to accelerate the energy transition and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The research contributes directly to strengthening the energy autonomy of rural and northern communities while supporting national efforts to address climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairholder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Chair is led by Professor Jasmin Raymond<\/a>, an internationally recognized expert in geothermics and heat transfer processes. His work combines cutting edge numerical modelling, thermohydraulic property analysis, and fieldwork to better understand how geological systems can provide reliable and sustainable energy solutions. The Chairholder collaborates closely with rural, remote, and Indigenous communities\u2014particularly in Northern Canada\u2014conducting research directly in natural laboratory environments located on their territories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the effects of climate change intensify, protecting and conserving our land and water while responsibly developing natural resources has become more essential than ever. In this context, green technologies play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while Earth sciences provide the critical knowledge required to design cleaner, more resilient energy systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable geoenergy systems\u2014whether naturally occurring or engineered\u2014draw on geological reservoirs to meet energy needs while safeguarding the environment. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
