SUMMARY:A Primer on Renewable and Recoverable Energy from Waste in British Columbia
DESCRIPTION:CWMA Presentations and Panel Discussion | Virtual Panel Event\nApril 17\, 2025 | 10:00 – 11:30 AM\n\n– DETAILS –\nWaste to Watts Series – Part 1\nA Primer on Renewable & Recoverable Energy from Waste in British Columbia\nThis 90-minute event will help us all learn the fundamentals of the technology\, economics\, and environmental pros and cons of methods currently being used in British Columbia to generate or recover renewable energy from waste. \nWe will include an inventory of facilities and then break down the basics of each method with presentations from experts in their specific methods. \n\nFortis on Landfill Gas Recovery basics and the programs across our province.\nVeolia on Waste-to-Energy with highlights of the Metro Vancouver facility.\nConvertus Group on the Surrey Biofuel Facility that converts organic waste into renewable natural gas and high-quality compost.\nThe University of Northern British Columbia will help us learn the basics of biomass gasification systems while highlighting their system which will be enhanced with a vignette by Nexterra who completed the energy-from-renewable-waste combined heat and power system located at UBC’s Vancouver campus.\nFinally\, False Creek Neighbourhood Energy Utility will dip us out of solid waste to learn more about wastewater energy recovery.\n\nTime will be given for some discussion and questions. \n\nWe will end with a vignette to introduce  our second Waste to Watts event planned for September. Kendall Christiansen of Whirlpool/InSinkErator will illustrate some of the cases that can help us all understand and be ready to discuss the confluence of liquid waste\, solid waste and climate action.\n\nThis is a great opportunity to learn the basics of an area that is complex and at times\, dare we say\, confusing\, which has inspired this event as the first in our “Waste to Watts” series to explore waste’s role in energy. \nNOTE: We are also tiptoeing carefully into (non-solid waste) areas… Traditional waste management has often treated liquid waste\, solid waste\, and greenhouse gas emissions as separate environmental challenges. We have noted more integrated ideas have been growing and there is potentially interconnected opportunities. We want to be on top of these conversations to keep our community at the forefront of knowledge and innovation. \n\n– COST –\n$23 CWMA Members | $28 Non-Members \n+GST.  CWMA’s operations are supported wholly by events like these\, dedicated patronage from sponsors\, and our membership.
