Natural Resources Canada – Community Energy Systems A.12.2 Bio-oil Bio-oil is a free flowing dark brown liquid produced by heating biomass feedstock to 450-500 degrees Celsius for less than two seconds. It can be used as an energy source to replace natural gas and diesel in boilers, gas turbines and diesel engines. Industry Canada sees bio refining as a promising vehicle to promote sustainable rural industries. Source: NRCan. 2003. Alternative Energy Sources for Potential Community Use.

See this document to get citizens involved in the community energy planning process. - Case study: Tuscan, Arizona, USA Civano is a model community in the City of Tuscan. Specific performance targets were developed in 1990 using participatory processes to: reduce energy consumption by 75 per cent; reduce potable water consumption by 65 per cent; reduce landfill-destined solid waste by 90 per cent; reduce internal vehicle trip miles by 40 per cent; and create one community job for every 2 residences.

Through its VISION 2020, the Hamilton-Wentworth region, with a metropolitan population of 468,000, has instituted a process that links the municipality, citizens’ organizations and other local stakeholders in the development and implementation of strategies to achieve a sustainable community. • Air quality improvements by interventions ranging from tree planting to traffic and transportation to an international conference on air quality. • In less than five years, it has achieved a remarkable improvement of its environmental conditions. • Its approach to sustainable development in general and to air quality control in particular has become a model studied by local authorities and institutions worldwide. Vision 2020 is the recipient of numerous awards. In 2000, it received both the UN Dubai Award for Improving the Living Environment and the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI)’s Local Initiatives Award in the category of air quality.
