  1. BioProducts & BioEnergy SectorLignocellulose Techno-Business Meeting UBC Video-Conference Bob Ingratta Jan. 13, 2009

  2. Discussion Items • Lignocellulose Short Term Actions from Executive Summary Paper • Input on Actions & Priorities • What is Right, Wrong, Missing? • Identify Technology gaps; Factors to stimulate growth; Priority Co-Products

  3. Examples of Platform Chemicals and their Derivatives

  4. Lignocellulose based Ethanol and Chemicals Key Strategic Issues Key Strategic Issue Platforms to address: • Feedstock (BioMass) availability – access, economical and predictable supply. • BioConversion and BioRefinery efficiencies – unlock the energy both pre-treatment and catalysis. • Market Receptors – create demand and enable infrastructure distribution.

  5. Lignocellulose based Ethanol and Chemicals Proposed Short-term Actions for Discussion Feedstock (BioMass) Strategic Platform: • Develop analytical tools for characterizing composition of biomass and intermediate co-products –Do we need an incubator lab system? • Cost-efficient systems for transport or on-site processing. – Portable plant and concentrate energy • Identify high value co-products & systems for integrated biorefinery to offset feedstock costs

  6. Lignocellulose based Ethanol and Chemicals Proposed Short-term Actions for Discussion BioConversion Strategic Platform: • Optimize enzyme technology for hydrolysis. • Pre-treatment/separation technologies • BioRefinery systems to obtain high value streams. • C5 fermentation technology improvements. • Pulp Mill Extension –shared learnings systems. • Enable Capacity by funding technology scale-up and pilot plant tests. • Define Priority co-products value targets & roadmap of potential uses.

  7. Lignocellulose based Ethanol and Chemicals Proposed Short-term Actions for Discussion Market Receptor Strategic Platform: • Identify and Enable Compatibility of bio-based chemicals within existing commercial processes. • Develop eco-clusters with networking services. • Incentives for infrastructure development. Energy Crop conversion; BioFleet program; Co-Product Use • Policy needs to enable Canada competitiveness & Risk mitigation for investment confidence

  8. Summary of Short Term Actions • Beginning of a New Path to Success • Let’s Discuss & Define Actions that will meet your needs. • Goal is to help SMEs innovate & grow • We believe this is a Process for Support and not just a single meeting.
