Who
we are
4th Resource is a Canadian geothermal company developing renewable green energy projects in East Africa.
We discover, enhance, and build environmentally responsible geothermal projects that provide sustainable, low/no emissions energy.
Our management team is made up of industry experts from multiple disciplines with the goal of developing world class renewable projects.
WHY GEOTHERMAL
From the East African Rift to the Alberta sedimentary basin, 4th Resource seeks international and domestic energy projects that have the best combination of resource quality and market demand. Areas where energy demand is currently under or unsustainably supplied and where abundant geothermal resources exist is our focus.
Abundant & Sustainable
Geothermal energy harnesses the Earth’s natural heat, providing a virtually inexhaustible and sustainable power source.
Baseload Power
Geothermal energy can provide a continuous, stable energy supply 24/7, making it ideal for meeting base power demands.
Small Surface Footprint
Geothermal plants have a much smaller land footprint compared to other energy sources, preserving more of the natural landscape.
Low/No Emissions
It's clean, offering energy that can be extracted without burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas, or oil. Using geothermal for electricity produces only about one-sixth of the carbon dioxide of a natural gas power plant, and little—if any—nitrous oxide or sulfur dioxide. Binary-cycle geothermal plants, which operate in a closed cycle, release essentially zero emissions.
Proven Technology
The first geothermal power plant was in Italy in 1904. Geothermal electrical power is currently produced in 30 countries and accounts for 16 GWe of electrical energy production globally, plus ~100 GWt of direct-use heat utilization.
East Africa
WHY AFRICA
4th Resource is focused on the East African Rift System, a region with world-renowned and underdeveloped geothermal resource potential. This area presents a unique opportunity to provide sustainable energy solutions while driving social and economic development. Here’s why we believe in the future of geothermal energy in Africa.
Social uplift
Strong government participation
Need for clean power
Employement and prosperity
Requires less manual labor for heating and cooking
Reduces biomass use
