STATUS

FEDERAL INITIATIVES – BUDGET 2003

- BIODIESEL EXPANSION TO 500 MILLION LITRES BY 2010.- associated GHG reduction of 1.1 Mt/annum

- EXCISE TAX EXEMPTION OF 4 CENTS/L- BIODIESEL IS OF A BIOLOGICAL, NON FOSSIL FUEL ORIGIN

PROVINCIAL INITIATIVES

- ONTARIO – 14.3 CENT/L SALES TAX WAIVER- QUEBEC – 16.2 CENT/L WAIVER PROPOSED IN LAST BUDGET- OTHER PROVINCES REVIEWING - MANITOBA- BIODIESEL IS OF ESTER ORIGIN (ONTARIO) PLUS ETHER

(QUEBEC)


Canada

ISSUES

CONCERNS ABOUT FEEDTOCK SUPPLY 7.1 MILLION TONNES OF CANOLA & 2.7 MILLION TONNES OF

SOYBEANS PRODUCED IN CANADA IN YEAR 2000. 19.5 MILLION TONNES (23 BILLION LITRES) OF DIESEL FUEL

CONSUMED IN YEAR 2000. 900,000 TONNES OF RENDERED PRODUCT

500 M LITRE GOAL WOULD REPRESENT 2% CONSUMPTION

PUBLIC AWARENESS OF BIODIESEL IS LOW

NEGLIGIBLE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL IN CANADA

BIODIESEL APPROX 15-20% HIGHER IN COST THAN CONVENTIONAL DIESEL IN ONTARIO

BIOBUSBiodiesel Demonstration & Assessment Project

March 2002 to March 2003

155 Transit Buses in Montreal

Consumed 550,000 litres pure biodiesel in 5% & 20% blend

Sources: 24% vegetable oil; 28% animal fat; 48% used cooking oil


Canada

BIOBUS: RESULTS

Estimated CO2 reduction during the project for 155 buses travelling 6.7 million KM, consuming 4.5 million litres: 2,100 ton

One year reduction potential for Canada’s 11,500 buses, travelling 800 million KM consuming 368 million litres diesel: 171,500 ton

Clearly superior lubricity resulting in reduced engine wear; valuable additive to very-low sulphur (<15ppm) diesel fuels

Higher cetane number resulted in improved ignition performance and reduced NOx emmissions

Energy efficiency is comparable; no significant effect on maximum torque & fuel consumption


Canada

OPPORTUNITIES

EMISSION BENEFITS – B20 REDUCTIONS OF CO (10%), PM (15%),

HC (10%), SULFATE (20%). NOx (+2%)

NO SULPHUR, HIGH CETANE NUMBER, BIODEGRADABLE

IMPROVES LUBRICITY

TREMENDOUS QUANTITIES OF AVAILABLE BIOMASS

POSITIVE IMPACT ON AGRICULTURE & RURAL SECTORS

“STARS ARE ALIGNED”-

TECHNOLOGY - INNOVATION

ENVIRONMENT/POLICY SIGNIFICANT GHG REDUCTIONS

URBAN POLLUTION - AIR QUALITY

INDUSTRY – RENDERERS (BSE), PETROLEUM (SULPHUR)

CHALLENGES

FEEDSTOCK SUPPLY – QUANTITY, QUALITY, COST, RELIABILITY

LACK OF SUCCESSFUL INDUSTRIAL DEMONSTRATIONS & COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION FACILITIES

FUEL QUALITY - COLD FLOW, SPECS

END USE – SUPPLY, DISTRIBUTION, APPLICATIONS

FINANCING – FOR EVERYTHING!!

LACK OF ESTABLISHED INDUSTRY AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Government Manufacturing &Chemical Sectors


Canada

BIOREFINERY + – “BIOPLEX”

USE OF BIOMASS MATERIALS TO PRODUCE ENERGY, CHEMICALS AND MATERIALS AT SAME FACILITY

REQUIRES THE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER TO FUNCTION AS THE INTEGRATOR OF THE RELEVANT SECTORS

INTEGRATED APPROACH THAT INVOLVES; FOREST, AGRICULTURAL AND MUNICIPAL SECTORS AS PROVIDERS OF

FEEDSTOCK, TECHNOLOGY & INVESTMENT AND USERS OF ENERGY & CHEMICALS

HYDROCARBON INDUSTRY AND UTILITIES AS PROVIDERS OF INVESTMENT AND USERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF ENERGY, FUELS AND CHEMICALS

OTHER SECTORS WOULD PLAY SECONDARY ROLES GOVERNMENT PROVIDES POLICY AND FISCAL SUPPORT MANUFACTURING AND CHEMICAL SECTORS INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING

NEW BIOMATERIALS


Canada

“BIOPLEX” - BENEFITS

GENERATES IMPROVED AND STABLE REVENUE STREAMS

IMPROVES EFFICIENCIES THROUGH SHARED FACILITIES, EXPANDED MARKETS, JOINT PRODUCT & MARKET DEVELOPMENT, SHARING/REDUCTION IN RISKS & CAPITAL

EMPLOYS INNOVATIVE AND LESS POLLUTING TECHNOLOGIES

GIVES INCREASED VISIBILITY, FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND CREDIBILITY TO AN EMERGING “BIOMASS REFINERY” INDUSTRY SECTOR

DEVELOPS STRONG INTRA- & INTER- INDUSTRY ALLIANCES. LEADS TO NEXT GENERATION TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS
