Quebec incentivizes facilities to switch
from fossil fuel to renewable heat
The Canadian Bioenergy Association (CANBIO) welcomes an innovative pilot program in Quebec that will boost renewable heat and power in the province and help to slow climate change.
Launched by the Agence de l’efficacité énergétique du Québec, the “Program to Aid the Utilization of Forest Biomass Residues for Heat” will be an effective incentive for managers of institutions and owners of commercial buildings, churches and other public buildings to help them convert from light oil to heating systems using woody biomass.
“Quebec is showing leadership in this area that reflects the kinds of programs that have been so effective in Europe,” says Douglas Bradley, CANBIO President and Executive Director.
