6 Pellet production and export in North America (From 0 tonnes in 2000 to 6 million tonnes today) * 2.4 Million tonnes production in Canada (2 million tonnes exported) * 42 plants in Canada 3 million production capacity (2 million in BC) * Recent bigger scale plants in BC thousand tonnes (Pinnacle pellets ) * 3.5 million tonnes production in US and mostly in-house use (5.5 million tonnes capacity) UBC Bioenergy/Forest Products Biotechnology Group Most of the Canadian pellet production is exported! Used for combustion/cogeneration, not as a biofuel feedstock 8

7 Biofuels for Aviation. An IRENA Technology brief FEBRUARY, Susan van Dyk & Jack Saddler

8 Long Distance Transportation sectors (aviation, marine, rail and trucks) unique dependence on drop-in biofuels Cannot readily use ethanol or biodiesel Cannot be electrified: too long distance, too large batteries New environmental regulations: e.g. GHG & sulfur emissions UBC Bioenergy/Forest Products Biotechnology Group 8

9 Multi-product, Biorefinery Light gases Gasoline/ Naphtha Jet Forest Products Biotechnology/Bioenergy at UBC

10 Alt Air Example Repositioned, small oil refinery. Oleochemical (waste cooking oil) feedstock. ( Conventional drop in biofuels) 3 main products: Green Diesel Green jet Propane/light gases 42 million gallons total capacity Forest Products Biotechnology/Bioenergy at UBC

11 The role of regional initiatives Multi-stakeholder initiatives on a regional basis Bioport concept Centered around a main airport/harbor Regional policy incentives Will play a key role in expansion of biojet

30 Questions

31 5.4 Climate 2050 Public Attitudes & Next Steps Roger Quan DIRECTOR, AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE Lucy Duso POLICY COORDINATOR, EXTERNAL RELATIONS, February

32 Public attitudes research purpose Public understanding on the causes of climate change Aspects of climate change that are of most concern Perceived level of climate action by various organizations Support for future climate actions 2

33 Developing the questions Local researcher expertise Best practices Benchmarking questions Reference of existing Canadian research 3

34 Key findings 1. Residents are highly aware of and concerned about climate change, and the impacts in our region. 2. Residents show low awareness of current climate actions taken by local government. 3. Residents indicate high support in principle for some authority, local government included, to take initiative and actions to address climate change. 4

35 Additional findings sense of place 5

36 Public understanding of the data Vast majority feel they understand climate change issues Most common identified impacts Weather severity, including droughts and floods Additional concerns are sea levels, warming oceans, wildfire and loss of agriculture land 6

37 Public understanding of the data Most common identified emission sources Cars, trucks and vehicles Gaps in knowledge about emissions sources Overestimate industry, deforestation, planes ships and trains landfills and aerosols Underestimate buildings 7

38 Awareness of local actions Nearly half reported No actions or don t know Most common Waste reduction Alternate transportation Less common (examples) City climate plans, water conservation, green space, local government green buildings and operations 8

39 Strong support for local actions Reduce pollution that causes climate change Regulate the pollutants that cause climate change Protect people and property from climate change Increase the price on pollution that causes climate change 9

40 Preliminary feedback on climate actions Support for government actions demonstrated to make a difference: Regulate land development in vulnerable areas Invest in public transportation Provide incentives to reduce household pollution Require builders to inform buyers of a home s energy requirements Regulate climate pollution from businesses 10

41 Preliminary feedback on climate actions con t Support for government actions demonstrated to make a difference: Provide incentives to make e-vehicles more affordable Charge businesses for climate air pollution Increase access to public e-vehicle charging stations Charge a fee to higher-climate polluting vehicles 11
