Green Energy Initiatives

Within its lands, Snuneymuxw is exploring these green energy areas to enhance its community.

1. Hydroelectricity – Using the natural flow of water in rivers to make kinetic power that can be
   transformed into usable energy.
2. Bioenergy – Using Wood and wood waste that can be combusted to produce heat used for space and water heating, or to produce steam for electricity generation.
3. Solar Energy – Using Solar energy from the sun in the form of radiated heat and light that can be used to provide lighting and heat for buildings and to produce electricity.
4. Geothermal Energy – Using Geothermal energy that can be captured from the heat stored beneath the earth’s surface or from the absorbed heat in the atmosphere and oceans.
5. Ocean Energy – Using technologies to convert the energy of ocean waves and tides into electricity or other useful forms of power.
6. Community Energy Champion funding - funding support for a designated community energy champion within the community to help plan, implement and evaluate energy-related priorities.
