Canada Resource Rich:  Agriculture S. Ontario, Quebec lowlands, Prairies  Minerals Gold, Potash, Iron Ore, Copper, Nickel, etc. Production across all Canada  Forestry Production across all Canada

Canadian Ethanol Development – 1980s &’90s  Intent: Introduce cleaner/less polluting fuels  1980s > Wheat-based ethanol production in Prairies 1998 > Corn-based ethanol production begins in Ontario (presently - 60% of Canadian production is corn- based)  Ethanol slower to ‘take-off’ in Canada than US  Government emphasis on environmental (GHG) vs energy security (GHGs, Kyoto, Sustainability)  Mandates introduced in 2010 (other programs hadn’t adequate market penetration or reductions in GHGs)

Canadian Renewable Fuels Mandates :  Nationwide Renewable Fuels Content Mandate: Gasoline – 5% renewable content (ethanol) - December 2010 Diesel / Heating Oil – 2% renewable content - July 2011  Provincial Mandates: Ethanol %Biodiesel % Manitoba Ontario Saskatchewan British Columbia Quebec 5.0 (target) 2.0 Alberta

Results:  Rising Ethanol Production 1.9 billion litres/yr (2011) 12% yr/yr increase 80% of ethanol production from plants built after 2005 (legislation introduced in ’06)  US imports cover the shortfall Canada largest importer of US ethanol Blend wall issues

Rise of 2 nd Generation Biofuels  Cellulosic production: ethanol from fuel additive to fuel alternative  Decline of Canadian forestry industry Rural forestry communities declining  Long-term ethanol food crop (corn/wheat) constraints

Canadian Renewable Fuels Strategy  Intersection of Canada’s Natural Resources, Infrastructure and People Strengths Agriculture Forestry Oil/Gas Intellectual know-how  Result: The Bio-economy

Bio-Chemical Cluster Development Drayton Valley / Ft Saskatchwan   Sarnia   Montreal

Sarnia (Ontario)  One of North America’s five principal petrochemical complexes  Large, existing infrastructure serving Central Canada and US Great Lakes/Midwest  Intersection of Forestry (pulp/paper), Agriculture, Petro-chemical Infrastructure and Human Capital  Focus on sustainability Success Stories: BioAmber, Rentech, Gevo (Lanxess), Zeachem (?)

Drayton Valley/Ft Saskatchewan (Alberta)  One of North America’s five principal petrochemical complexes  Intersection of Agriculture, Forestry (pulp/paper), Petro-chemical Infrastructure + Human Capital  Proximity to fossil fuel feedstocks  Local Champions: Biobased-chemical programs Biorefining Conversions Network Alberta Innovates BioSolutions Success Stories: Mascoma, Weyerhaeuser, CLIB, Otoka Energy
