14 Why is this Important for Canada? Canada is a world aerospace leader and Green Aviation drives innovation and collaboration efforts Canada s aerospace industry is positioned to enable green economic development, creating a license for continued sector growth and leadership Canada has a natural advantage in developing renewable aviation fuels: an engaged government seeking to reduce emissions, airline environmental leadership, sustainable agriculture and forestry biomass production sectors, established R&D capacity. GARDN Proprietary Information 14

15 Description of GARDN GARDN is part of the Canadian program Business-Led Network of Centres of Excellence (BL-NCE). GARDN I ( ) GARDN II ( ) Objective: Increase competitiveness of Canada s aerospace industry through the reduction of its environmental footprint Two-pillar strategy: Evaluating, Funding and Monitoring precompetitive collaborative industrial R&D projects (TRL 3 to 6) Focal point of reflection on environmental aviation in Canada and Worldwide GARDN 2017 Corporate Presentation 15

16 Vision and Success Vision: GARDN in a permanent contributor to the preservation of our environment while securing Canada s leadership role in aerospace. Mission: GARDN will foster the continuous development of technologies and processes for QUIET, CLEAN, and SUSTAINABLE air transport by: 1. Encouraging creativity, collaboration and investment 2. Ensuring that companies address the environmental impact of their products and services along the entire life cycle A Canadian Aerospace success story: An inclusive coast to coast network (Airlines / OEM / SMEs / Universities / Research Centers / Governement) A world-wide reknown brand With a Robust Selection and Project Monitoring Process (a strong Scientific Committee) And glad to see NRCAN joining the effort with this great initiative!

20 Research Portfolio A total value of more than $70M: 37 collaborative projects, including 5 biofuel projects 18 are completed 18 are in progress 1 is stopped GARDN 2017 Corporative Presentation 20

21 Project Evaluation Criteria Eligibility Criteria Funding from industry (50% of project cost) Minimum of 2 collaborators (including an industrial leader) TRL progression (from 3 to 6) Linked to one of GARDN research themes: Clean, Quiet, Sustainable Evaluation Criteria Benefits to the Canadian aerospace sector Development of highly qualified personnel Environment impact Feasibility, collaboration, quality of researchers GARDN 2017 Corporate Presentation 21

22 AGR-1: Evaluation of Bio-SPK Production from a New Canadian Feedstock Crop, Carinata Objectives Term: 2 years Qualify an alternative and sustainable fuel source; reduce impact of fuel cost on aviation industry through reduction of feedstock and processing cost; expedite and promote commercialization of Canadian biojet fuel source, namely Carinata. Agrisoma worked in collaboration with NRC and Applied Research Associates (ARA) to conduct world s first flight on 100% drop-in aviation biofuel using NRC s Falcon 20 aircraft. Partner 22

23 Term: 2 years 23

24 NEC-21: Assessment of likely Technology Maturation pathways used to produce biojet from forest residues (The ATM Project) Term: 3 years Objective: Advance the development and production of biojet fuels in Canada from sustainable biomass feedstocks. The project will assess the potential of producing biojet from Canada s considerable forest residue resources, using the experience of Canada s established forest products sector and the growing pellet sector. 24

25 WG-21: Canada s Biojet Supply Chain Initiative: Enabling 2020 Carbon Neutral Growth Term: 3 years Objective: Demonstrate the operational feasibility of biojet fuels in the domestic jet fuel supply system, catalyze the development of the domestic biojet sector by using HEFA biojet, validate CND biojet supply chain elements, and generate hands-on experience with biojet handling and integration to develop best practices in a Canadian context. 25

26 WG-22: Civil Aviation Alternate Fuel Contrail and Emissions Research (CAAFCER) Term: 2 years Objective: Enhance the T33 emissions instrumentation by the addition of a CPC 3776 ultra-fine aerosol sensor and denuder to differentiate between volatile and non-volatile particles, and then undertake jet emissions and contrail measurement flights. 26

27 In Conclusion A lot of work needs to be done on the technical aspect (targeting specific bottlenecks in the value chain ASTM certification Upgraders / Feedstock certification / But do not forget to work on the Ecosystem itself: Need to work with the whole biofuel supply chain + the aerospace industry (including Airlines) Need to articulate the differente government initiatives Need to have a customer oriented (airlines) approach Need to have a kind of a «first client» program (IDEAS program / DND) Need to align with ICAO activities (CAEP, CORSIA) GARDN 2017 Corporate Presentation 27
