  9. Example- Biorefining Northwest Bioenergy Unity, Saskatchewan • Farmer owned • Grain terminal • Transloading • Ethanol • Industrial alcohols • Animal feed • Electricity / heat 9

  10. Example- Biorefining Highmark RenewablesTwo Hills, Alberta 10

  11. Example: Multiple Values Wood Biomass ProjectCamrose, Alberta Waste water treatment Energy

  12. Example: Fibre processing Stemia Fibre Processing Chin, Alberta $30M proposed processing and manufacturing facility in Lethbridge/Taber Public – private partnership Market development and technology support Building Industry critical mass Value chain development 12

  13. Example: Bio-cluster Biohybrid Chemistry Cluster Sarnia-Lambton, Ontario, Canada • Ethanol • Cellulosic Ethanol • Biodiesel • Biogas • Greenhouses • Renewable Chemicals • Biosuccinic Acid • Research facilities • Business incubator 13

  14. Example: Bio-cluster Alberta Industrial Heartland, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada • Oil seed crushing • Bio-fuel blending • Bio-fuel transloading and logistics • Bio-chemicals • Carbon capture • Hydrogen • Waste heat • Greenhouses • Bio-fuel manufacturing • Bio-plastics and resins • Construction materials • Renewable natural gas • etc. 14

  15. Example: Co-siting (Buildings) Strathcona District Heating Plant Sherwood Park, Alberta 9MW Natural gas heat 1MW bio heat Wood waste Agricultural pellets

  16. Example: Co-siting (Oil Refinery) Shell's Pernis oil refinery Rotterdam, The Netherlands • Heat and CO2 • Reduced emissions and additional • revenue for industry partners • 95 million m3 of natural gas • saved annually • 580 greenhouses ~1,900 hectares • ~400,000 tons CO2 diverted per year 16

  17. Why Alberta? Growth Market • Between now and 2022 it is expected more than $170 billion will be invested in new bio-refineries • Biofuels already account for 3% of total global fuel • Biofuels market will double to $185 billion • Bio-based chemicals will grow to $12 billion • Alberta is blessed with abundant resources including agriculture and forestry biomasss, a perfect foundation on which to build a world-class bioenconomy. 17

  18. Why Alberta? – Agricultural Feedstocks Arable land per capita (hectares) • 8.5 million hectares arable land • 11+ million hectares pasture/forage • Abundant: • Crops (Wheat, canola, barley, etc) • Straw • Manure

  19. Why Alberta? – Forestry Feedstocks • 38 million hectares forested land Forested land per capita (hectares) • Abundant: • Hardwood • Softwood • Logging residues • Wood waste

  20. Additional Resources Alberta Biomaterials Development Center: www.albertabiomaterials.com Bio-Based Chemicals Initiative www.agriculture.alberta.ca/biobasedchemicals Small-scale Biomass District Heating Handbook www.communityenergy.bc.ca

  21. Why Alberta? Highly educated population Advanced research facilities (including bioenergy) Competitive taxes Well developed infrastructure Strategic location Abundant agricultural feedstocks Abundant forestry feedstocks Supportive policy environment for bio-innovation • Business friendly environment • Thriving economy • An Innovative and diversified economic base • Diverse population • Young population • Entrepreneurial spirit • Thriving small business sector • Strong labour market • Highly skilled labor force 22

  22. Why Alberta? Growth Market • Consumer Demand • Superior Performance • Environmental Pressures • Improving Economics 23

  23. Alberta Bioenergy Opportunities • Renewable Gasoline • Ethanol • Methanol • Butanol • Green gasoline • Renewable Diesel • FAME • HDRD • Biocrude • Bio-coal • Biogas • Renewable Natural Gas • Syngas • Energy Pellets • Straw • Waste • etc. • Renewable Chemicals for the Oil Patch • Drilling fluids • Surfactants • Solvents 24

  24. Alberta Biomaterials Opportunities • Fibre processing • Biocomposites • Building products • Textiles • Automotive parts • Reclamation / erosion control www.albertabiomaterials.com 25

  25. Alberta Biochemicals Opportunities • Industrial Bio-Based Chemicals • Renewable Chemicals for the Oil Patch • Drilling muds • Surfactants • Solvents • De-icers • Rust inhibitors • Industrial Chemicals • Solvents • Coatings Specialty Chemical/High Value Ingredients • Cosmetic and Personal Care Functions • Anti-microbial/Anti-inflammatory/Anti-irritant/Anti-oxidant • Preservative • Solvents • Emulsions/surfactants • SPF Boosters • Thickeners • Silicone replacements/styling resins • Biorefiningsidestreams • As intermediates for other ingredients • Industrial and Household Cleaning • Surfactants/detergents • Perfume/Fragrance • Pharmaceutical/Nutraceutical • Food and Feed 26

  26. Why Alberta? – Policy & Programs • 2006 Nine Point Bioenergy Plan • Specified Gas Emitters Regulation • Offset protocols • Climate Change Emission Management Corporation • Grant Programs • BCMDP/BIDP • Climate Change Emission Management Fund • Bioenergy Producer Credit • Renewable Fuels Standard • Bioenergy Research and Development • Alberta Biomaterials Development Center
