University Onsite Bioenergy and Associated Performance Research Proposal - Case study
We recently delivered a proposed solution for the University of British Columbia Living Laboratory. The public standard for organics recycling includes full organics weekly collection plus bi-weekly garbage collection. This is now the norm in the BC lower mainland. But, half of the greater Vancouver population resides in multifamily buildings which have yet to be included in organics diversion. ...

Carbon tax - key instrument for energy transition!
Summary: Global warming is the most challenging problem facing humanity today due to the excessive use of fossil fuels. Carbon tax (carbon dioxide tax) is a simple and efficient way to reduce the use of fossil fuels, improve energy efficiency, and make renewables more competitive. It can be tax neutral, as reducing other taxes will complement carbon tax implementation. It is a smart move to a ...

Solutions for the exploitation of biomass energy in mountain regions
Using tow-cables to extract and transport biomass to forest paths Many forests are located on mountainous terrain with steep slopes, making their exploitation not economically viable, at least with traditional methods. This can lead to the abandonment of such hilly woodlands, giving rise to rodent infestation or forest fires, with resulting damage to the woods themselves and to surrounding ...

WBA Fossil Exit Strategy
After COP 21 (Paris): Fossil Exit Strategy 2030 One year after the conference in Paris, the world is moving away from the targets of COP21. The most embarrassing fact is the ongoing increase of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. This concentration reached 400ppm in 2014 for the first time in the human history. A value of 420 ppm is usually regarded as upper limit to keep a temperature ...
