Manitoba Hydro's Bioenergy Optimization Program

A demonstration project deploying two 100-kilowatt biomass boilers that burn wood pellets to provide supplementary heating to downtown campus buildings. The project aims to prove the viability of biomass heating in dense urban environments and support the university's renewable energy goals.

Renewable energy source that experienced increased production in 2010 alongside solar and wind.

Two 100-kilowatt boilers that burn wood pellets to generate heat for building systems. The system has no net greenhouse gas impact and provides supplementary heating to campus facilities.

Used by SunHydro to generate hydrogen, making the fueling process fully sustainable.
