Summary
Lonsdale Energy has begun construction on a new Urban Heat Recovery Centre in the City of North Vancouver.
Backed by a $17.5 million grant from the federal and provincial governments through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, CleanBC stream, this project introduces an innovative way to serve the community. Daily activities like showering, washing dishes, and doing laundry send large amounts of warm water down the drain. Lonsdale Energy captures and recycles that lost heat, then uses industrial heat pumps to boost it to a higher temperature. This provides 6 MW of reliable, low-carbon heating capacity through the community energy network, supplying heat to more than 18,000 City residents.
Once operational, the Urban Heat Recovery Centre is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 7,600 tonnes of CO₂e annually -- the equivalent of removing 2,700 cars from the road each year. The project will serve more than 120 buildings in its first year, supporting cleaner air across North Vancouver, where buildings account for roughly 42 per cent of community greenhouse gas emissions.
