BioCycle, Advancing Composting, Organics Recycling & Renewable Energy
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011Partnership Brings Biogas Technology To Canada
Canadian biogas company Carbon Control Systems (CCS) has teamed with German technology provider agriKomp with the goal of becoming Canada’s first turnkey anaerobic digestion system provider. CCS-agriKomp’s reference plant is a 135-kW on-farm digester in Millbrook, Ontario. The facility processes dairy manure, corn silage and grease from nearby restaurants.Vancouver-based Octaform Systems is a stay-in-place PVC concrete forming system used for the tanks, eliminating the need for secondary seals or treatments. The biogas provides enough energy to dry grain in a 180-metric-ton batch dryer, power CCS-agriKomp’s 7,600-square-foot headquarters and provides electricity to more than 50 homes.
Biogas is now being promoted as advanced composting. BioCycle, Advancing Composting, Organics Recycling & Renewable Energy.
Powering up Canada’s Energy Advantage for the 21st Century
Monday, July 18th, 2011“Canada’s forestry industry has emerged as an environmental leader. Making full use of the biomass waste stream from the forest industry could produce the equivalent energy output of nine nuclear reactors.” says Avrim Lazar, President and CEO of the Forest Products Association of Canada. “Producing clean energy from trees presents a remarkable opportunity for Canada.”
We have the biomass in Canada – lets make sure we use it. Read more here Powering up Canada’s Energy Advantage

District Energy coming to the Cambie corridor, Vancouver
Saturday, May 14th, 2011The plan also identifies sites along the corridor that have potential to support district energy systems. District energy systems distribute thermal energy -hot water or steam -produced in a central location to residential and commercial buildings through a network of underground pipes. It allows for more efficient central boilers that can tap into a range of renewable energy sources, such as biomass, sewer heat recovery or geothermal exchange. District energy systems heat and cool buildings while producing less GHG emissions.
Fuel Cell To Heat And Power Toyota HQu
Friday, May 6th, 2011Ballard says its 1 megawatt fuel cell will be used to provide power to several locations on the 15 building, 125 acre campus, including the Toyota and Lexus headquarters building, a data center building and the employee fitness center. Ballard estimates the use of the fuel cell will result in lower use of peak grid power and help avoid the generation of up to 10,00 tons of CO2 emissions anually.
