In Canada, Nexterra Biomass Gasification System Fires Up at Dockside Green

Nexterra Energy Corp. (www.nexterra.ca) announced that its biomass gasification system at Dockside Green (www.docksidegreen.com) is now operational and providing heat and hot water to residents of the award-winning $600 million green development in Victoria, British Columbia.

Housed in a building designed to fit into the urban neighborhood, Nexterra's proprietary gasification system will enable the Dockside community to self-generate clean, low-cost heat and hot water using locally sourced wood fuel and offset fossil fuels. At peak capacity, the system will provide heat and hot water to an estimated 2,500 Dockside residents, enabling the development to be carbon neutral from an energy perspective, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 3,460 tonnes per year, or the equivalent of taking 850 cars off the road.
