Powering Tomorrow with Geothermal Energy Solutions.

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.

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.

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.
