Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, will host a premier in-person event for Canada’s bioenergy sector from January 26 to 28, 2026—the Arctic Bioenergy Summit and Tour. Organized by the Arctic Energy Alliance (AEA) and the Wood Pellet Association of Canada (WPAC), and sponsored by the Government of Northwest Territories (GNWT), with media sponsor Canadian Biomass. This event is in lieu of the 2026 edition of the online Northwest Territories Biomass Week, traditionally held the last week of January, which attracts upwards of 300 participants each year. The event, which profiles Sustainable Bioenergy for Northern Communities: Reliable. Affordable. Local., kicks off with a full-day tour of civic buildings, schools, and community centres across Yellowknife, to look at how bioenergy is reducing reliance on fossil fuels in northern climates. Following the tour is a two-day Summit filled with informative presentations by speakers from the Northwest Territories, across the rest of Canada, and as far away as Alaska and Finland.
