Heating costs in Canada are expensive and generate high amounts of greenhouse gases, especially for those living in rural and remote communities. Many individuals, businesses, and communities across Canada are turning to modern bioheat systems as a solution. Solid woody biofuels produced from sustainably managed Canadian forests can be used efficiently to meet space and hot water heating needs, cut costs, reduce emissions, and offer many other benefits. However, lack of awareness of bioheat technologies and their benefits are a barrier to uptake in Ontario.
