Recent third-party testing and analysis of the biomass gasification system at University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) has concluded the plant is one of the cleanest in North America.
Supplied and installed by Nexterra Systems Corp., the plant's emissions for particulate matter, volatile organic compound, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides were measured by Levelton Consultants Ltd., an engineering and science consulting firm.
It emerged with impressive scores when compared to 17 other plants of a similar scale built in Canada and the United States in the last decade.
