Societal Benefits
The bio-economy has far-reaching benefits for our society
BC Bioenergy Network is supporting a new and growing cluster of talented companies, employing skilled workers in high-paying jobs that benefit our society.
The Bioenergy sector is unique in that it enables British Columbians to apply their skills and training in a growing sector, while also helping them reduce environmental impacts in their communities.
Using local biomass resources diversifies the economy, creates green jobs and keeps energy dollars in the community. This is especially important for First Nations, rural and remote communities, where expensive and environmentally harmful fuel sources such as propane and diesel are relied upon for heat and power.
