Shell's Pernis oil refineryRotterdam, The Netherlands

• Heat and CO2 • Reduced emissions and additional revenue for industry partners• 95 million m3 of natural gas saved annually• 580 greenhouses ~1,900 hectares • ~400,000 tons CO2 diverted per year


16

• Between now and 2022 it is expected more than $170 billion will be invested in new bio-refineries

• Biofuels already account for 3% of total global fuel• Biofuels market will double to $185 billion • Bio-based chemicals will grow to $12 billion • Alberta is blessed with abundant resources including

agriculture and forestry biomasss, a perfect foundation on which to build a world-class bioenconomy.

Why Alberta? Growth Market

Arable land per capita (hectares)

• 8.5 million hectares arable land

• 11+ million hectares pasture/forage

Abundant:•Crops (Wheat, canola, barley, etc)•Straw•Manure

Why Alberta? – Agricultural Feedstocks

18


Forested land per capita (hectares)

• 38 million hectares forested land

Abundant:•Hardwood•Softwood•Logging residues•Wood waste

Why Alberta? – Forestry Feedstocks
