11 Key Drivers Significant Energy Savings GHG reductions Technology advancements: Modern Clean Efficient Cost-Effective Regulations/Demonstration Regulations are dated No recognition of European standards Confederation College - Bioenergy Learning and Research Centre ( BLRC ) Clean, renewable energy for a sustainable future 11

12 Confederation College Bioenergy Learning and Research Centre ( BLRC ) BLRC - Key Features 150 KW Fröling/Evergreen Dedicated Research Boiler Installation to two modern TM-500 Fröling/Evergreen boilers Laboratory/Testing Space for proximate analysis On-Line Instrumentation including ports for specialized/temporary test instrumentation Comprehensive Air Emission Testing Capabilities paired with Ambient Air Monitoring Learning and Training Space BLRC - 4 Key Areas Applied Research Biomass Related Curriculum Development Technology Transfer and Market Development Community Development Opportunities using bio-heat as a catalyst 12

13 Community and Regional Why Biomass? Need to reduce GHG emissions Communities need employment opportunities Source of income for communities (sale of heat & possibly other forest related products such as wood pellets) Winter roads are becoming unreliable for remote communities (flying in fuel triples the cost) Consistent energy (as apposed to solar and wind) Development 13

14 Community Development 29 communities on diesel generation (propane/oil/electric heat) 19 are served by Hydro One These 19 used 15.6 million litres of diesel in 2011 Opportunities for forest based communities whether it s off grid, or connected Displace electric and hydrocarbon fuel heat with green carbon neutral biomass heat Create local employment opportunities *Hydro One Remote Communities Inc Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report and Action Plan 14

15 The Opportunity Large quantities of low cost biomass (pellets and chips) available Catalyst for business opportunities biomass wood supply, services, spin-offs Political motivation at both the provincial and federal government levels Modern cost effective biomass boiler technology is available NOW for all applications State of the art cost-effective technologies + political motivation + low cost biomass = Recipe for success Clean, renewable energy for a sustainable future 15
