Dr. Mory Ghomshei

Chief Technical Officer

As an international geothermal expert, Dr. Ghomshei has developed guidelines for geothermal power development for the World Bank and has participated in exploration and development of several geothermal fields around the world such as Coso, in California, Meager Creek, in Canada, and Mt. Sabalan in Iran.

He has conducted geothermal studies and exploration in South and Central America, the Caribbean Islands, the Middle East, Asia and Africa (e.g. Yemen, Djibouti, French Reunion Island, Costa Rica, Pakistan. Philippines, India, and Indonesia). He has also conducted extensive R&D on extraction of medium-grade geothermal energy from oil and gas wells (e.g. in Qatar) and extraction of geothermal energy from operating and abandoned mines

As the Chair of the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CANGEA) from 1989 to 2008, Dr. Ghomshei contributed to the promotion of geothermal energy throughout Canada and around the world by organizing conferences, workshops and by lobbying governments. He has published over 150 papers in scientific journals, refereed conference proceedings and professional magazines.

He is currently president of Carnothech Energy and an adjunct professor at McGill University and the University of British Columbia, conducting R&D on geothermal energy resources and technologies. He also teaches a professional training course on geothermal energy (with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC).

He is fluent in English, French and Persian, with a working knowledge of Arabic and Spanish. In his spare time, he plays the harp and writes children’s literature.
