Established in April 2008 with a $25 million grant from the BC government, BC Bioenergy Network is an industry-led initiative that is the catalyst for deploying near-term bioenergy technologies and supporting mission-driven research to build a world class bioenergy capability in BC.
To achieve this, BC Bioenergy Network invests in capital and technology development as well as targeted capacity building.
BC Bioenergy Network supports the demonstration and deployment of products and systems that:
Produce heat, power or combined heat & power;
Process biomass into solid fuel;
Refine biomass into liquid fuel; or
Collect or concentrate biogas to be used as fuel
These products and systems take advantage of BC’s Bioenergy Opportunities, using waste streams in the Agriculture, Forest and Municipal sectors.
As well, the BC Bioenergy Network offers relevant services to the Bioenergy Community in British Columbia, including:
Bioenergy information and promotion
Conferences and workshops
Contact facilitation/ Networking
