Geographic Advantage: transportation links support domestic and export markets with the rural landscape

42

Eco-Industrial Park as we see it

!  To paraphrase Peter Senge et al (2008): “The same can be said for eco-industrial parks. The use of industrial symbiosis or any other characteristic or strategy is not enough to designate an industrial park as an eco-industrial park. You have to think about the whole system: the land, the site itself, how it uses water, how it uses energy, what materials are in it, what air quality is like and the healthiness of the building for its occupants.”

!  forest and agriculture innovation in a geographically advantaged rural setting

!  Innovation and creativity based on solid science, good design and multi-partner innovation

44

Eco-Industrial development schematic; large acreage available (400 acres in total)

The basis for by-product synergy !  All resources harvested and

extracted in the province do not now find their way into products and economically productive uses.

!  By-products are often discarded as wastes even though economical and technological opportunities exist, or could exist in the near future, to use these resources productively.

!  Energy is used in the harvesting, extraction and manufacture of products and the use of by-products could result in substitution of imported sources of energy

!  Link to second generation biofuels

!  Carbon dioxide a key by-product of GreenField

!  Emphasis on value-added wood products

Colleges – critical collaboration

La Cité collégiale, Ottawa – signed memorandum of understanding on February 10, 2010 in areas such as construction (aboriginal housing), architecture, forest technology, biotechnology, exterior design and environment as programs that can be involved. They also have an international project pertaining to workers mobility including students with institutions from France and Finland. We were pleased to welcome Jukka Asp from Finland on October 4, 2010

St. Lawrence College, Brockville campus - signed MOU; especially supportive re training and stationary engineering, applied technology, business planning and other related programs

Algonquin College, Ottawa and Pembroke, Ontario – Applied Research and Innovation Director – MOU seeking relationship in variety of areas including involvement of Forestry Technician students in Pembroke and applied technology with respect to forest related initiatives; September 18, 2010 visit to Black Walnut plantation – collaborative project

Loyalist College at Belleville – MOU now in place; special interest from Bancroft campus – strong lumbering area

Confederation College, Thunder Bay, Ontario – Innovation Development Program were interested in a formal relationship; especially with respect to First Nations Housing, cedar project and twinning of northern community with Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. Progress limited

FPInnovations !  Meeting in Québec City, October 2009

!  Encouraging way to link northern and eastern Ontario

!  Value to our St. Lawrence/ Great Lakes forest based industries

!  New general manager of EOMF managed relationship

!  Invitation to join OEWC Board of Directors being considered by Pierre Lapointe

!  Considered to be essential participant, initially good relationship

!  Anticipating response from Pierre Lapointe in January 2011

Queen’s University 2010 !  Project #1 The students are evaluating the technical, safety, environmental and business

feasibility of the demonstration plant based on hot water extraction process and developing a document that will be used to draw capital investors to the project. The students will gain insight into the complicated world of corporate strategic planning and capitalization within the context of leading edge technologies in an emerging bioeconomy .

!  Project #2 The students are working in parallel with Project #1 developing the in-depth information on the ABS technology, supportive data on reverse osmosis/ membrane technology, equipment needed, strengths of this technology compared to other competing technologies, products produced, uses of these products, emerging new products and new approaches to specific parts of the process etc.

!  Chemical Engineering 470 course: the students are evaluating the technical, safety, environmental impact and business feasibility of an idea that utilizes furfural derived from woody biomass. The purpose of the plant is to make the fuel additive 4-Methytetrahydrafuran and furfurol. The feasibility study should produce a safe and efficient design for a facility providing 5% of the volume for a 100,000 barrel per day bio-oil refinery. It is also an interesting feature of the project that the design is to be flexible in the products produced.
