UBC Biomass Research and Demonstration Facility
The Biomass Research and Demonstration Facility uses biomass to create clean heat and energy. This facility is located at 2329 West Mall in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia's West Point Grey Campus. Official operation began on September 2012, by combining syngas and gasification conditioning systems with a Jenbacher engine. The highest potential output of this system is 2 MWe (megawatts) of electricity and 9600 lbs of steam per hour. This system is the first of its type in all of Canada, and it was put together by the cooperation of three parties: General Electric (GE), Nexterra, and the University of British Columbia (UBC).
==History==
In 2007, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) came up with the conclusion that human-made emissions are destabilizing the earth's natural systems. As a response to this problem, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act (GHGRTA) was set to the public bodies of British Columbia, including UBC.〔(Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act (GHGRTA) )〕 The GHGRTA had expectations that UBC would become carbon-neutral (Bill 44, compensating for the excess carbon emissions by cash through carbon credits system) by 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sustain.ubc.ca/sites/sustain.ubc.ca/files/uploads/CampusSustainability/CS_PDFs/PlansReports/Plans/UBCVClimateActionPlanSummary.pdf )〕〔http://www.canadianbiomassmagazine.ca/combustion/new-nexterra-projects-include-biomass-chp-3360〕
By March 24, 2010, then-UBC President Stephen Toope announced UBC's dedication to climate action summed up by three future carbon reduction targets; 33% below 2007 levels by 2015, 66% below by 2020, and 100% below by 2050. To achieve the 2015 goal, UBC Climate Action Plan〔(UBC Climate Action Plan )〕 has committed 117 million dollars to three goals: converting steam heating systems to hot water systems, reducing emissions by 22%, optimizing academic building and behavior change programs (building tune up program ) and the UBC biomass research and demonstration facility, which will reduce emissions by 9% for a total of 33% of reduced emissions by UBC from 2007 levels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=http://sustain.ubc.ca/campus-initiatives/climate-energy/climate-action-plan )〕
