The bioenergy industry in Kamloops is experiencing rapid growth.
Kamloops is home to the first geothermal community in Canada,
Sun Rivers Community Development Corporation, and is
experiencing great success with plenty of room for growth.
Bioenergy is the renewable energy used to produce electricity,
heat and bio-products production. The more common types of
bioenergy being used in Kamloops right now are geothermal energy
and using wood waste to produce energy. The City of Kamloops is
home to some significant bioenergy projects and initiatives.
With its easy access to wood waste, the pulp and paper industry
seems a natural fit for gasification systems that produce
biofuels, for consumption or for sale. Kamloops is the proud
home of Nexterra Energy Corps research and development facility.
Nexterra develops, manufactures and delivers advanced
gasification systems that enable customers to self-generate
clean, low costs heats and power at industrial and institutional
facilities using waste fuels. some local compa
