1 A Model for Successful Innovation Creating the New Bioeconomy Presentation by Pierre Lapointe, President & CEO Ottawa, Ontario September 28, 2017

2 Vision A world where products from sustainable forests contribute to every aspect of daily life. TALL BUILDINGS made of wood? Optimal use of Engineered Wood Bridge building Environmentally friendly products Automated Logging TRUCKS Drones for forest surveillance our RESOURCE Interior products for trains, planes and automobiles LIGHTWEIGHT Airplanes The food we eat Remotely controlled Transportation 2

3 A Unique Private-Public Partnership FPInnovations offices and laboratories Employees: 430 Budget: $76 million CDN Industry Members: 170 Industry, Universities, Provincial and Federal Governments Canadian Wood Fibre Centre 3 FPInnovations: Forest Operations, Wood Products and Pulp, Paper & Bioproducts (Vancouver, BC) Fire Operations Group (Hinton, AB) Bio-Economy Technology Centre (Thunder Bay, ON) FPInnovations Head Office and Forest Operations and Pulp, Paper & Bioproducts (Pointe-Claire, QC) FPInnovations: Wood Products, Forest Operations and Pulp, Paper & Bioproducts (Québec,QC)

10 Concrete Achievement CelluForce Windsor (QC) Research University Research FPInnovations Research Production of one kilogram/week in a laboratory Research investment: $22 million Derisking Construction of the demonstration plant 1 ton/day Derisking technology $41 million investment (Federal/Quebec governments, Domtar, FPInnovations) Production shutdown Market derisking Commercial 2015 Private partner investment (Schlumberger) 2016 International partner investment (Fibria) 2017 Commercial plant being planned 10

11 Concrete Achievement Cellulose Filaments Trois-Rivières (QC) Research FPI research Production of one ton/week in a laboratory Research investment: $11 million Derisking Construction of the demonstration plant: 8 tons/day Technology and market derisking $43 million investment ($25 million for market development) Federal, QC and BC governments, Investissement Québec, FPI, Kruger Market derisking: additional $32 million over 3 years Commercial 2017 Investment by private partners Kruger Trois-Rivières Commercial plant being planned 11

12 Derisking through Codes and Standards Codes and Standards are critical to the successful introduction of new materials Key element in de-risking new materials As important as financials 12

13 Concrete Achievement Mid-rise and Tall Wood Buildings Montréal Research 2009 to 2015 Review of Canadian codes and standards Investment in research Derisking Demonstration projects (Vancouver, Québec) NRCan/CFS support: $3 million CDN Vancouver Commercial 2016 Construction of 8 storeys Arbora Project, Montréal 2017 Construction of 18 storeys Brock Commons, Vancouver 13

14 Tall Wood Buildings in Canada Wood Innovation and Design Centre - Prince Georges, BC Brock Commons - Vancouver, BC Arbora - Montréal, QC Origine - Québec, QC 14

15 Our Prefab Vision Design a sustainable, wooden, prefabricated building considering end-of-life requirements. Construct in an intelligent factory using innovative, lowcarbon-footprint materials and advanced manufacturing systems. Deliver prefabricated units to construction sites through optimized logistics with zero impact on the local population. 15

16 Next Innovation and Derisking Challenge Prefabricated Construction Construction industry is risk adverse Market analysis shows huge opportunity in multi-family residential and commercial Multi-stakeholder approach: NSERC funding $1 million budget over 3 years 12 M.Sc. and Ph.D. projects 6 industrial partners 3 universities 16

17 CCFM s Forest Bioeconomy Framework Contribute to Canada s cleantech ecosystem and create sustainable bio-based products for global markets Reduce carbon emissions and help Canada reach its UN Climate Conference carbon reduction commitment Provide economic growth and green jobs for rural communities and urban centres by accelerating the deployment of innovative technologies Enhance the sustainability of the forest sector through research, innovation and strong public policy Visit to view the Framework 17

18 Supercluster Biodesign Initiative Well-aligned with the Framework Pan-Canadian initiative to develop low-carbon economic opportunities for Canada Coordinated by FPInnovations, BioIndustrial Innovation Canada (BIC), FPAC and Genome Canada Includes companies as diverse as Boeing, Ford, Resolute, Canfor, WestJet, Air Canada and Nestle 18
