Waste-Wood Burning Energy Plant in Southeast False Creek.
Southeast False Creek (SEFC), the last undeveloped waterfront land near downtown Vancouver, and site of the Olympic Village, might also house a waste-wood burning energy plant. The City of Vancouver and a developing company called the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) have been working together to transform Southeast False Creek into a model sustainable development. CMHC was to ‘provide technical assistance and best practices to the design process’ to construct a ‘net-zero-energy, healthy housing project’. This was promised to be “The Greenest Urban Neighbourhood on Earth.”
From this official plan for SEFC to…………..This?
I've heard that burning
I've heard that burning waste-wood is an effective source of carbon-neutral energy, because trees release the carbon they've absorbed over their life-time when they die anyways- whether we burn the waste or throw it out to rot. Anyone know anything about this?
