Nexterra's gasification system is housed in an architecturally designed building
that fits right into the urban neighborhood.

City Centre Clean Energy PLant

Located on the Upper Harbour in Victoria, BC, the Dockside Green residential and commercial development is a prime example of how Nexterra's gasification system is ideally suited to its central urban setting. The system produces heat and hot water for the entire development using locally sourced wood residues. Housed in a building architecturally suited to the neighbourhood, the system emits virtually no pollution, odors or noise.

"We are delighted with the results of Nexterra's gasification system at Dockside Green. This is a premier showcase for clean energy technology in a truly sustainable urban development."
