Municipal or Industrial wastewater with a typical temperature of 15°C - 20° C all year round is a hidden and seldom used source of energy running through the sewer network. This constant supply of wastewater is an ideal energy source for both heating and cooling buildings. With over 40 installations globally, the patented HUBER ThermWin® technology is a proven solution for sewer energy recovery.

In what’s being called a groundbreaking innovation, a Toronto hospital, along with its partners, have found an environmentally friendly way to heat and cool its buildings that will significantly reduce its carbon emissions. Noventa Energy Partners and the City Of Toronto teamed up with Toronto Western Hospital […] to develop the project that uses thermal energy from wastewater flowing to provide 90 per cent of the heating and cooling for the buildings.

Across the country, countless passionate people are working towards a common goal: to help Canada meet its climate targets by 2030. “In the public and private sectors, in academia and not-for-profit organizations, many people are pushing in this direction,” says Vince Gasparro, managing director, Clean Energy Finance at Vancity Community Investment Bank (VCIB). “And that’s what we need: siloed sectors can’t do it on their own. We all need to […] turbocharge this green transition.”
