As climate change and global warming become more urgent, Canada’s forest sector is exploring new ways to solve the challenge of delivering secure, affordable, and sustainable energy like wood bioenergy using clean technologies.

Today, nearly 60% of our sector runs on bioenergy (and that number is growing!). By converting wood chips, sawdust, and bark — materials that might otherwise be considered “wood waste” — into bioenergy, our sector has created a low-carbon energy source to power our operations and reduce our emissions.

That same technology has the potential to not only help Canada’s remote communities reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, but to help our country as a whole reduce emissions; since the early 1990s, we’ve reduced ours by close to 70%…
