Summary
SFU's School of Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE) program and Corix - the company that designed, built, owns and operates the Renewable Energy Centre biomass plant on Burnaby Mountain - have embarked on a four-year research collaboration aimed at measuring the quality of locally-sourced wood waste and the plant's performance to improve operations and cut emissions even further.
