TRU – Ground broken on landmark low-carbon district energy system

Thompson Rivers University (TRU) took a significant step forward in its journey to achieve zero carbon emissions with a groundbreaking ceremony for its Low-Carbon District Energy System (LCDES) Thursday (Aug. 29, 2024).

The LCDES is set to reduce the university’s greenhouse gas emissions by 95 per cent. The LCDES will replace the university’s aging natural gas boilers with a high-efficiency electrified district heating system powered by renewable electricity. The system will eliminate more than 100,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years — the equivalent of planting a 4,000-acre forest. “Today marks a pivotal moment in TRU’s sustainability journey,” said TRU president Brett Fairbairn. “The LCDES will not only transform our campus into one of the greenest in North America but will also serve as a model for universities and communities around the world.
