The Northern Ontario Bioeconomy Strategy

Transcription

1 The Northern Ontario Bioeconomy Strategy Cheaper Energy, Innovation, and High Value Jobs for the North

2 Outline The Biomass North Development Centre The Old Bioeconomy Northern Challenges Jobs, Energy Poverty, Perception -> Policy The New Bioeconomy Focus on Heat Jobs, Energy Security, Pragmatism -> Policy The WIIFM and The Ask 2Biomass North Development Centre

3 Represent and advocate for entire supply chain Drive policy & regulatory reform Enhance technology transfer & drive innovation Develop domestic & export markets for bioproducts One voice for municipalities, First Nations, and organizations with an interest in the bioeconomy 3Biomass North Development Centre

4 Mandate: Support the development of a robust and sustainable bioeconomy in northern Ontario 4Biomass North Development Centre
