In 2013, Farallon was part of a team headed by FVB Energy and Dalkia Canada that was engaged by the University of Victoria to complete a feasibility study for a biomass energy system. Our work included evaluating the costs and benefits of a larger, community-scale district energy system, developing an anaerobic digestion facility to produce designated Renewable Natural Gas for the University of Victoria, and recommending advanced pollution controls to reduce emissions from biomass combustion.
Farallon was also responsible for modelling criteria air emissions from a biomass energy systems, evaluating changes to greenhouse gas emissions that would result from replacing fossil fuel with biomass at the University, and for evaluating the quantity, cost, reliability, and quality of locally-available biomass.
