Biomass project study commissioned for Nakusp; to produce heat from wood waste

Nakusp council in British Columbia plans to spend $22,500 to endorse an alternative-energy system that could heat public buildings in the community.

An agreement has been reached with Urban Systems for strategic and technical services for the biomass project of a high-tech boiler to be installed near the arena to burn local wood waste for heat generation.

The project is expected to be completed in three months. The village has a grant application submitted for construction of the biomass energy system through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP). A decision about the grant is expected in late spring.
