The World Bioenergy Association is pleased to highlight a new video series by Jamie Stephen, Managing Director of TorchLight and WBA board member, exploring key topics such as bioenergy, sustainable communities, renewable energy, decarbonization, and healthy forests.

Over the next 20 weeks, with the support of TorchLight and Natural Resources Canada, Jamie—also known as Dr. Jam—will showcase innovative bioenergy facilities and systems from around the world. Through real-world case studies, the series will demonstrate how bioenergy can decarbonize industries and cities, enhance energy security, support sustainable forest management, and accelerate local economic development.

In the first episode, Dr. Jam visits the district heating system in Joensuu, Finland, exploring key questions:
  • How can a city be heated using wood?
