Assessing community forest resources to determine potential for biomass district heating in one rural and one remote First Nation of Northwestern Ontario
(2016)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the feasibility of using biomass in rural and remote First Nations for the purpose of supplying biomass district heating plants. The availability of forest resources, including the ...
The economic feasibility of replacing diesel with renewable energy resources in remote First Nation communities in Northern Ontario
(2017)
Ontario has many First Nation communities in the remote northern region that use diesel fuel to generate part or the whole of their energy requirements. There is a huge financial and environmental cost associated with ...
Biomass energy potential of forest harvest residue in Northwestern Ontario
Woody biomass contributes less than 6% of total energy production in Canada. Based on
previous data relating to the supply, quality and economic potential, this compilation of relevant
data provides an estimation on the ...
Building green energy initiatives in Northern Ontario Indigenous communities: case study on community development in Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation
(2020)
Northern Ontario’s First Nations communities rely heavily on diesel energy, a fuel source with high economic and environmental costs. Thus, many communities are examining the viability of making a partial or full transition ...
Industrial biochar characterization : properties and potential applications
(2021)
Biochar is a carbon-rich charcoal produced from pyrolyzed biomass such as wood,
agricultural waste, or animal products. Biochar is primarily used as a soil amendment,
but it has promising applications in carbon sequestration, ...
Alternative uses for waste products from biomass burners
(2021)
Woody biomass has become an important source of renewable energy
throughout the world. A major issue that has risen from the increased use of combustion
technology to produce thermal energy is the large amount of waste ...
Evaluation of Canada’s biomass policy in comparison to its Nordic counterparts
(2023)
The transition towards renewable energy sources is considered one of the main
mitigation measures combating the effects of climate change. The use of renewable
energy, particularly those derived from forest biomass, is ...
