Project Overviews
Title: Bioenergy for the Municipality of Granisle
Date: January 2011
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The intent of the Bioenergy for the Municipality of Granisle project is to
assess Granisle's carbon footprint and to seek opportunities to reduce carbon emissions resulting in clean air using of alternative green energy. The Bioenergy Project will achieve this by introducing bio energy to the major buildings of the community and some other buildings that lend themselves to this sort of installation. It is the intent of the village to embark upon a program encouraging people living in single dwelling occupancy buildings to switch over to efficient wood or wood pellet devices.

Title: Burns Lake Bio-energy Pilot Project
Date: October 20, 2010
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project has three major objectives:
1) To assist the Village of Burns to develop engineering and
construction design work for a community heating system that will
utilize pellets or waste wood. The design work will include detailed
costs of construction and implementation, the resource
requirements, and the projected revenues; and
2) Promote the expansion of bio‐energy projects in the OBAC region. A
reference document will detail the process and the associated
outputs in the Burns Lake pilot. This will provide other communities
with a reference template and costs that are reflective of small
communities within our region.
3) Second Phase: Construction of a community heating system.

Title: Green Clean Energy as a Rural Economic Development Tool
Date: April 2010
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This multi region, multi agency project has two
major objectives: (i) to identify rural business development and labour force
opportunities associated with Green Clean Energy development in the
interior and (ii) to assist at least three small MPB “at‐risk” communities to
develop a full Business Plan to take implement a Green Clean Energy project
in their region. The overall project cost is estimated at $300,000. The OBAC
will participate on the steering committee and in the implementation of the
Burns Lake demonstration project.

Title: Accelerate the Growth of Alternative Energy Sector
Date: November 2009
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project will provide capacity in the region to accelerate growth of the
alternative energy industry by establishing an “Alternative Energy Office”.
The office will work with the senior governments, local governments, First
Nations, research and business. It will be staffed by 1‐2 people with the
expertise to initiate pilot projects, conduct technology transfer and business
information exchanges, and provide a contact point for potential new
enterprises. The office will be overseen by a partnership of contributors, and
may be housed independently or within an existing organization. An
example pilot project is a “net zero” housing development in the region.
