A pet peeve of mine is the value lost when project funding ends. So I was keen to see an organization working hard to expand on the value created by doing research projects through a series of information sessions highlighting biomass research called the Research 2 Receptor Series. Presenting organizations included Ontario Power Generation, Ontario Federation of Agriculture, University of Guelph, The George Morris Centre and several others. It was well attended with reps from organizations that can contribute to the successful evolution of biomass as an energy source and a business opportunity in Ontario.
It is not without it's challenges including:
- agronomics
- logistics
- policy and regulations
- pricing mechanisms
- competitive land uses (i.e. food production)
- existing energy generation infrastructure and more
It sounds overwhelming, but I was pleasantly surprise at the positive attitude and approach, stay tuned for more and perhaps you would like to contribute your ideas on biomass...
