VANCOUVER, B.C. — MP Gregor Robertson toured the River District neighbourhood energy utility to review the commissioning of expanded sewer heat recovery systems.
Clean Energy Neighborhoods
The system captures thermal energy from regional sewer systems to heat high-density residential towers without fossil fuels.
"Innovative neighbourhood energy utilities prove we can build dense, affordable housing while shrinking our carbon footprint," Robertson stated.
