1. Sustainability The Present State in Manitoba Retrofitting Multiple Hot Water Heating Systems with Biomass District Heating Bruce Duggan Director BullerCentre.com

2. Sustainability What is the Present State in Manitoba? It’s not very good. There are opportunities to improve—and money to be made—particularly in energy sustainability.

7. Where’s Providence? 40 min south hwy 59 Steinbach Saint Malo St-Pierre-Jolys Winnipeg Providence

8. What? Christian small rural

9. 1.carpools 2.recycle 3.retrofit 4.community garden 5.replace boilers 6.geothermal 7.wind research 8.ewaste 9.biomass heating sustainability so far GOAL: replace ~2/3s of our natural gas use

10. biomass residues ‐ forestry ‐ agriculture ‐ industry ‐ sewage ‐ “organic” “garbage”

11. distributed natural gas biomass heating “heats more than 1 building” natural gas biomass

13. energy sustainability so far Providence’s renewable energy formula: electricity + geothermal + biomass = #2 campus in Canada #1: University of Northern British Columbia

15. for Providence “The earth is the Lord’s”  Psalm 24 ‐ we’re accountable ‐ and so we’re making a start Why?

16. Everyone will have their own reasons for sustainability. ‐ individuals ‐ institutions ‐ societies differing motivations are good can still join in shared actions Why? 50by30.org
