Carbon-neutral power station for indigenous Canadians

The carbon neutral power project, operating under the name of the MLTC Bioenergy Centre, will be located near Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan within the traditional territory of the nine First Nations of the MLTC.

The facility will produce electricity from an ORC system utilising Turboden’s technology, with biomass fuel derived from residual wood waste from an adjacent sawmill as fuel. The system is expected to produce 6.6 MW of baseload electricity generation. It is expected to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by more than one million tonnes over 25 years, as well as significantly reduce smoke and other particulate matter, improving the local air quality conditions. The facility will also provide heat to nearby sawmill buildings.
