A Significant Commitment to the Environment
JV Driver Group is constantly evolving and our increasing emphasis on environmentally sound initiatives is an example of that.
Over the last 5 years, through the Group company Marine Exhaust Solutions, we have made significant investment in the development of sophisticated scrubbing technology that removes sulphur dioxide (SO2) and particulate matter from the exhaust of ships. These gases are major contributors to acid rain and regional haze across the globe. Our product allows ship owners to meet new strict exhaust regulations while keeping control on costs. For more information visit the Marine Exhaust Solutions website.
Also, in the coming months we will add to our environmental portfolio as we launch our new solar company that will offer clean and efficient power generation and usage solutions to industrial, government and commercial clients.
JV Driver Group has also completed many “green” projects in the industrial, power and buildings sectors. These projects include cogeneration, run-of-the river hydro, and wind installations. See below for some examples.

Client:
Run of River
Skookum Creek hydroelectric project is a 25 megawatt (MW), run-of-river project located approximately 70 km north of Vancouver and 12 km east of Squamish, BC in the Sea to Sky corridor. The project will generate 88,000 megawatt-hours per year of clean, renewable electricity, or enough electricity to power approximately 8,300 homes. The project is located on Skookum Creek, a tributary of the Mamquam River. The project will be connected to the BC Hydro electric system at Squamish via a 20 km, 138kV transmission line. IDL completed the concrete construction of powerhouse and intake along with the associated works.
