New Biomass Plant at Simon Fraser University


New Biomass Plant at Simon Fraser University

From 2016 to 2021, FVB have supported Corix in the design and construction of the Burnaby Mountain DEU Central Energy Plant inclduing a 13.5 MW output capacity biomass module, a 8.3 MW output capacity natural gas module. At full build-out the CEP will result in an estimated annual reduction of 11,600 tonnes of CO2 for both the SFU Campus and UniverCity community (a reduction of 80% over the current system). 

The plant’s efficency is reducing carbon emissions is equivalent to emissions from 900 homes a year. The plant will also meet 97% of BC government’s 2050 GHG target.
