The Hon. Rich Coleman (Minister of Energy/Mines) stated:
"These twelve new ICE Fund projects bring 475 jobs and almost $79 million in investment to B.C. communities, creating a strong green economy for all British Columbians. For example, the Tsay Keh Dene First Nation is producing heat from wood waste, a clean energy solution for this diesel-based and the EcoSmart Foundation is installing the first B.C. grid-connected solar plant on a brownfield mine site"
One of the 12 ICE Projects being funded locally, at Anahim Lake, is being sponsored by ASG Canada Energy Inc and it is to convert waste biomass to biodiesel and show how communities and industry can use the excess heat and electricity for power.
