Arctic Energy Alliance and the Wood Pellet Association of Canada are excited to announce the Arctic Bioenergy Summit and Tour—Sustainable Bioenergy for Northern Communities: Reliable. Affordable. Local. in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, January 26-28, 2026.
This in-person event replaces the 2026 edition of Northwest Territories Biomass Week, traditionally held the last week of January.
Join us for a full-day tour of biomass installations in Yellowknife, followed by a two-day summit.
- Visit local facilities that have bioheat and district heat systems.
- Learn about bioenergy in the context of the North. Hear about lessons learned from successful (and unsuccessful) projects both domestically and internationally.
- Discover the supply chain challenges and opportunities, as well as the practical skills and support needed to incorporate bioenergy into the North.
- Engage with other participants in discussing next steps for advancing bioenergy in your community.
And if you want to make a full week of it, Arctic Energy Alliance will also be hosting a two-day NWT Biomass Boiler and Heating Plant Training Session, January 29-30, 2026. Information available soon.
