Assessment of geothermal resources in onshore Nova Scotia. Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and Enki GeoSolutions 2021-04-01T00:00:00 Prepared for the Offshore Energy Research Association of Nova Scotia on behalf of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy and Mines. 205 p. document In the summer of 2021, DP 534 (Geothermal Potential in Onshore Nova Scotia) was released by the Department of Energy and Mines Some of the data compiled in the abandoned mines heating and cooling capacity (h534nsmc) database came from this document Arkay, K., 2000. Geothermal energy from abandoned mines: A methodology for an inventory, and inventory data for abandoned mines in Quebec and Nova Scotia 2000-01-01T00:00:00 Geological Survey Open File 3825, 388 p. https://doi.org/10.4095/211648 Coordinates prepared by the Nova Scotia Department of natural Resources in 2014 for the National Orphaned/Abandoned Mines Initiative (NOAMI) which was compiled in the abandoned mines heating and cooling capacity (h534nsmc) database. In August 2021, this feaature class was released as part of DP ME 534 (Geothermal Potential in Onshore Nova Scotia) by the Department of Energy and Mines. In March 2020, compilation of data to evaluate geothermal potential in onshore Nova Scotia from heating and cooling capacity from abandoned mines. This evaluation is based on the volume of ore extracted for 287 abandoned mines (coal: 206, metals: 55, industrial minerals: 26), both underground (85%) and open-pit (15%). The geothermal heating or cooling capacity of an abandoned underground or open-pit mine is directly related to its volume. Therefore, the calculated heating or cooling capacity expressed in Megawatts per hour (MWh) can be used as a direct indicator of the geothermal potential of a mine 2020-03-01T00:00:00 In the context of a collaborative program with Nova Scotia’s Department of Agriculture (NSDA) and Nova Scotia’s Department of Energy and Mines (NSDEM), the Offshore Energy Research Association of Nova Scotia (OERA) held a request for proposals to assess the geothermal resources in onshore Nova Scotia. The team of INRS and Enki GeoSolutions was selected for a study to provide: 1) A review of the general types of geothermal resources in Nova Scotia with reference to key regional, national and global examples; 2) A preliminary evaluation of the potential/favorability of Nova Scotia’s geothermal resources (direct use of heat, electricity generation, and heating and cooling from abandoned mines); 3) Recommendations for next steps to further de-risk targeted areas; 4) A discussion about the economic case for potential geothermal resource exploration and development in the province. 2020-03-01T00:00:00 In fall of 2020, Gavin Kennedy with the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Mines (NSDEM) was provided with the abandoned mines heating and cooling capacity dataset with the purpose of NSDEM releasing a dataset containing a series of feature classes relating to geothermal potential in Nova Scotia. 2020-10-01T00:00:00 There may be positional accuracy errors in the digital data that come from the original data collection, plus there are errors added by the process of digitizing the features from the original published source maps or field maps. The transfer of this data from older base maps onto the current base maps may also produce some error. The user should be aware that using this data overlaid on topographic data that was not used during the digital capture of the data may result in apparent errors in the locations of the data that may or may not be real. The user should always try and use background topographic data that is the same as the source topographic data noted in this metadata. The entire risk as to the quality and accuracy of the data is with the user and the user shall use his/her own judgment in making use of the data or drawing conclusions from it.
