Canada has a Serious Energy Image Problem
Current Production and Capacity 2012 Production ~150 Million Litres of biodiesel ~1.8 billion litres of Ethanol We produce almost everything we need from an ethanol perspective, but we do still have imports which contribute to over compliance Expected biodiesel Capacity - ~ 400 Million Litres is expected to come online this year ADM facility in Lloydminster (~250 Litres) Remainder comes from offshore: Canadian Canola is exported to the Western United States for upgrading and returned to Canada as biodiesel Renewable Diesel from Asia and Europe
Biofuels Facilities in Canada
Supply vs. Demand Mandates and Production Mandate of 5% Renewable Content in Gasoline ~2.1 billion litres of demand in 2013 Ethanol 2012 Production ~1.8 billion litres of Ethanol ~ 2.8 billion litres of consumption Mandate of 2% Renewable Content in Diesel ~ 600 million litres of demand in 2013 2012 Renewable Diesel Production ~ 150 Million L of biodiesel, and imported ~250 M/L of biodiesel and ~170 M/L of HDRD
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions
Advanced Biofuels in Canada We need to build enthusiasm! On the cusp of breaking out in Canada - Thermochemical Technology - Biological/Enzymatic Technology Wealth of feedstocks core issues vary by project including feedstock pre-treatment, high capex and first of a kind risk Advanced Biofuels can be integrated with the government s drive to transform the forestry sector, and stimulate the agricultural and manufacturing sectors Advanced Biofuels can solve several environmental challenges including those surrounding landfills The main challenge is about financing full scale commercial facilities
Next Generation Biofuels and Co- Products Significant, sustainable volumes of cellulosic feedstocks (2nd generation feedstocks) are available and can be used to supplement supply Cellulosic Ethanol is produced from lignocellulose, a structural material that comprises much of the mass from plants (i.e. wood, energy crops, and agricultural residues such as corn cobs and stover) Commercialization of next generation biofuels will require a co-location strategy, with next-gen processing modules integrated with existing first generation ethanol production facilities.
Process Advancements Within the Dry Mill Ethanol Sector Technology Technology Provider Benefits Corn Oil Extraction Pavilion Expert Controls Advanced Enzymes/Yeasts Selective Grind Hydrolysis Utilization Solution Recovery Systems Rockwell Industries Various Fluid Quip Nelson Engineering Crude corn oil has market value >3x DDGS Corn oil can be sold as liquid feed, as a feedstock for biodiesel, or can be further processed to make ethyl esters and other green biochemicals Advanced process control software acts as an auto pilot to optimize process conditions, increasing yields and efficiencies, while lowering energy consumption Cutting edge enzymes and yeasts can boost yields and increase output Novel disk-grind system exposes (previously) unfermentable starch to generate 1% yield improvement Optimizes and extends fermentation residence time by managing solids composition. Leads to enhanced yields.
Today s Agenda Jim Grey, IGPC The foundation for build-out to fuel growth and innovation Malcolm West, GreenField Ethanol The next wave of business planning Scott Lewis, BIOX Corporation The next wave of diesel replacement products Please come to the 2013 Canadian Renewable Fuels Summit December 2-4 right here in Montreal! http://www.greenfuels.org/en/industry-information/summit.aspx
