UBC Bioenergy Research and Demonstration Project

This project is the first combined heat and biomass system in North America. It will generate both heat and clean electricity through biomass gasification. For the UBC campus, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions will be equivalent to taking 1100 cars off the road.
