NRStor's energy storage project
CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 5
"This is the first of its kind.
The other two both use natural
gas to reheat the air corning
back into the rotating expander.
Our technology has a way to do
this, completely fuel free,"
explained Perctick "There are
no air emissions, there is no
natural gas or fossil fuel usage at
all. This is a way to get more
clean power onto the Ontario
electrical grid without building
more wind turbines or building
more solar panels."
According to Peretick, the
reason NRStor exists as a
company is to try to be good
global citizens, and do what
is good for the world and
good for the environment.
NRStor CEO Verschuren
added, "Today, compressed
air technology is driven by
gas and we are doing it gas -
free. I would be so honoured
to work with the Town of
Goderich to make this pro-
ject happen." -
According to NRStor repro;
sentatives, this project chose
Goderich not only because of
the resource of underground
salt caverns to store the pres-
surized air in, but to bring new
life to something that did not
have any economic value
anymore.
"We are both new compa-
nies [NRStor and Hydrostor)
trying to get things established,
trying to build these very clean
energy projects. We want to do
it in Ontario," explained
Peretick "We believe in Ontario
and we think this is a great
springboard to be able to prove
this technology and to be able
to develop it, hopefully in the
rest of South-western Ontario,
hopefully in the rest of Canada
and hopefully in the world:'.
Currently NRStor is cur-
rently going through all the
necessary steps and processes

Air and Noise assessment.
These results will determine
on whether or not the project
will have a negative impact on
the surrounding environment
or not, and if the project will
require particular permits.
NRStor welcomes the pub-
lic and members of the com-
munity to reach out, inquire,
comment or ask questions
about the company and the
project. To contact NRStor,

NRStor's energy storage
project would be able to
integrate more renewable
energy back into the grid,
but is more or less a demon-
stration project and would
like to build the cutting edge
technology in Goderich.
"It's a wonderful way to
improve the efficiency, to
improve the conservation of
energy and really go forward
with a very exciting project. We
believe that fttel free com-
pressed air technology can pro-
vide numerous environmental
benefits" said Verschun n.
Members of Council did
not want to make a sound
decision concerning Goder-
ich's economy and environ-
ment without taking the time
to consider all the information
presented, and have asked
NRStor to provide more infor-
mation on the environmental
approvals process.
The result of the Town
Council meeting last week,
members of Council decided
to table the site -plan approval
until the next Council meeting
on Monday, May 8 at 4:30pm.
