REAP-Canada, CanadaREAP-Canada is North America’s most experienced agency in the development of densified agri-fibers as heating fuels with over 20 years of experience collaborating with farmers, government and the private sector to develop and commercialize sustainable agricultural business solutions for Canada’s fuel, fibre and food needs. REAP-Canada has been working since 1991 on bioenergy systems development as a means to control greenhouse gases and enhance product demand for the agricultural sector. REAP-Canada was the first agency in Canada to perform research studies on warm season perennial grasses as energy crops and the first agency in the world to commercially pellet switchgrass and burn it successfully as a heating fuel. REAP-Canada provides services in bioenergy market development and economic forecasting, heat energy demand analysis and projections, biomass combustion efficiency, greenhouse gas accounting and assessments of land-use availability for energy grass production systems.Since 1991, REAP Canada has developed leading expertise in the development of biofuel feedstocks and small scale bioenergy systems for cooking and heat related energy applications as a strategy to encourage rural development and mitigate climate change. REAP-Canada has successfully managed 10 international development projects to date including projects in the Gambia, the Philippines, and China and consulted on numerous other projects. Household cooking stove programs have been a component in five of these projects. REAP Canada has also been involved in research and development of three biofuel projects with companies in Canada. REAP is a world leader in developing bioenergy opportunities for rural development and greenhouse gas mitigation. In North America, Europe, Asia and Africa, REAP has created projects within the private and public sector to develop and commercialize dedicated bioenergy feedstocks and residues for biofuel applications. REAP is also currently working to develop bio-energy projects with farmers groups in China, Ethiopia, the Gambia and the Philippines. In 1999, REAP Canada was honoured with the CIDA International Environment Award for excellence in programming under the Canadian Environmental Network International Program theme of Climate Change for emission reduction activities in the Philippines. | |
