Description: This map is an illustration of bioenergy installations in various facility types across Canada using solid biomass fuels to generate HEAT (bioheat). The threshold for this map is 0.25 MWth. This is due to the differences in utilisation rates (such as availability, capacity factor and efficiency) between bioenergy and solar, hydro, wind energy. Types of facilities shown in this map include schools, campuses, institutional and commercial buildings, farm buildings. Solid biomass fuels that are typically used in bioheat facilities in Canada include wood pellets, wood chips. In recent years, the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island and Quebec have seen increases in the use of biomass fuels and the production of bioheat. Bioenergy, that is heat and/or power production from biomass, can help increase the share of renewable energy in Canada’s overall energy supply. In recent years, the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island and Quebec have seen significant increases in the use of biomass fuels and the production of bioenergy. Growth is particularly strong for space heating in the commercial, institutional and agricultural sectors (e.g. schools, campuses, communities and greenhouses). Woody biomass from forestry and arboriculture operations is by far the most common biomass resource available in Canada. Forest harvesting and wood processing leave behind biomass as by-products and residues. These by-products and residues are used as raw material in the production of solid biomass fuel such as wood chips, wood pellets and wood briquettes.
