BCBN helps projects secure funding and proceed to implementation. These efforts include:
- Connecting promising technologies and solutions among project proponents;
- Helping funders, investors, and regulators better understand the opportunities in bioenergy deployment;
- Actively participating in stakeholder conferences, consultations, and initiatives to assess and promote bioenergy’s important role in the integrated bio-economy
Realizing the full promise of bioenergy means ensuring a new generation of British Columbians can find new ways to create greater value from BC’s forests and biomass resources.
