1 Underpinning Canadian Bioenergy Development
2 Australia and Canada Both large countries with large that are less hospitable Canada Only 0.5% of the world s population 7% of the earth s land area 2-4% of the global CO 2 exchange Biosphere inactive half the year due to low temperatures areas
3 BioFuelNet: Our vision & mission Our vision is a Canada with a thriving advanced biofuels industry that is socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. Our mission is to support the growth of Canada s advanced biofuels industry through coordinated research, innovation, effective education, smart policy and strategic partnerships.
4 Advanced biofuels are produced from non-food materials Agro-forestry waste Energy crops Algae Municipal waste 4
5 Advanced biofuels Renewable biofuels can provide: Sustainable source of energy Reduced GHG emissions Reduced reliance on food crops for biofuel production
6 BioFuelNet: Benefits to Canada 6
7 BioFuelNet: About the network BioFuelNet Canada is a Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE) that brings together the Canadian biofuels research community. Operates under a $25 million grant over 5 years (2012 to 2017) through the NCE program. 10 projects containing 59 work packages Facilitates collaboration Supports commercialization Government interaction Represents Canada Trains students and postdocs 7
8 Who is involved? McGill University (Host) 27 universities 71 leading researchers (162 collaborating) 90 industry partners Over 150 partners Over 300 Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) trained Numerous national & international contacts 8
9 Examples of BFN s Community Academia Government Industry Other Examples: ~1/3 in each case Investment 9
10 Task Forces Integrate Themes FEEDSTOCK CONVERSION UTILIZATION SEES 1. Purpose-grown feedstock 2. Residues & waste 3. Bioconversion 4. Pyrolysis 5. Gasification 6. Emerging conversion technologies 7. Combustion & engine operations 8. Life cycle analysis & microeconomics 9. Domestic & international policy 10. Supply-chain logistics 10
11 In Summary PROJECTS: FEEDSTOCK: 1. Purpose-grown feedstock; 2. Residues & waste CONVERSION: 3. Bioconversion; 4. Pyrolysis; 5. Gasification; 6. Emerging conversion technologies UTILIZATION: 7. Combustion & engine operations SEES: 8. Life cycle analysis & microeconomics; 9. Domestic & international policy; 10. Supply-chain logistics
12 HQP Managers HQP, generally PhD or Postdoc level Organize regular meetings (on the order of three per year as a minimum) of projects and task forces Is a program for training HQP how to manage science projects and labs They coordinate key aspects of networking 12
13 Specific Networking Activities A community approach
14 Success Stories For example, 5 stories written for year 2 Energy crops on marginal land Forest biorefining New yeasts Biofuel combustion Ford Motor Co. 14

16 Advanced Biofuels Symposium May in Ottawa Theme: Bridging the gap between industry, government and academia 16
17 HQP Networking Workshop Held at ABS ~100 HQP participate Groups pitched ideas to a Board of Directors for a multi-national biofuel corp in In 2015, worked on aspects of communication Travel Exchanges: up to $4,200, 1 week to 3 months (~12 yr -1 ) Travel: $500 within province (~20 yr -1 ); $1,000 in Canada but outside province (~80 yr -1 ), $1,500 for international travel (~20 yr -1 ) 17
18 Advanced Biofuels Course Recorded lectures Now officially part of the McGill curriculum Registration at/over capacity Industry interest increasing Students Industry Government Jan ('14) Sept ('14) Jan ('15) 18
19 Canadian Biofuel Potential Crop residues 1 to 12% of gasoline Purpose grown crops 6 to 285% Forest residue 3 to 34% Mill residues 1 to 4% MSW 2 to 6% TOTAL 13 to 341% With careful management Canada could supply its transportation fuel though biomass Mabee and Saddler 2010

21 US Military The US Air Force, Navy, Army and Marine Corps: very ambitious targets to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to develop renewable fuels US Navy and the US Marine Corps: 50% of its total energy from alternative sources by 2020 US army plans to use 25% renewable energy by 2025 Marines will demonstrate the Great Green Fleet, by 2016 The US DoD recently awarded $210 M to the following companies to build biorefineries: Emerald Biofuels Fulcrum BioEnergy Red Rock Bio Cost-competitive (<$3.50 per gallon; $0.88 L -1 ) drop-in military biofuels million L yr -1
22 Advanced biorefineries in Canada Commercial scale: Enerkem Alberta Innovates Edmonton (municipal waste) Operational (opened in June 2014) Enerkem - GreenField Ethanol Inc Varennes, Quebec (waste from institutional, commercial and industrial sectors as well as construction and demolition debris) In construction Both 38 M L yr -1 Enerkem has demonstration plants: Westbury and Mississippi 22
23 Renewable Fuels February 12, 2014: On a national scale (in Canada), the entire renewable fuels industry contributes $3.5 billion to the economy.. Ultimately, the enhanced biofuels sector has created thousands of jobs and serves as a driver of economic activity in Western Canada. Quote from Hon. JoAnne L. Buth (Senator). Source:
24 Oil and Environmental Costs Fracking leads to increased production Saudis pumping to maintain market share Can profit at $15 per barrel Need $100 per barrel to meet in-country commitments Storage capacity is saturating Iran coming on-line In longer term, is non-renewable In Canada: At this point there is protection As oil prices fall there is increasing support The effect is not large New federal government in Canada and new emphasis on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
