Powering our Green Economy

The Tłı̨chǫ Government is investigating the possibility of developing two biomass projects near the community of Behchokǫ, Northwest Territories (NWT). The two projects are a green house with biomass CHP facility and a pellet plant, both utilizing biomass as the heat and electricity source.

Available feedstock for both projects could come from existing forest fire burns, consisting of 130,000,000 standing dead trees in the area.

This study investigates the possible technologies and economics involved in providing both heat and electricity to both of these projects, while utilizing biomass as the energy source.
