STAN BLADE:<\/b> <em>We\u2019ve made some major investments in genomics in the crop industry especially, thinking about how we can change oil seeds so that there would be different oil compositions.    We\u2019ve invested in cereals like triticale, thinking about new sorts of starches and sugars that might be available.    It really comes down to the molecules that these processing companies want to use.   And we think that changing the nature of especially crops can be very valuable.   We\u2019ve done the same thing when it comes to fibre supplies, thinking about new technologies like nano crystalline cellulose where you can take these materials and they can change the characteristics of products.  You can put them into  everything from television screens to improve drilling muds for our oil industry.  And the research is being done here in Alberta as supported by Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Stan Blade says bioenergy is already being produced and used by Alberta\u2019s forestry sector.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02012-05-17<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding new uses for plant materials from farm and forest is important from both environmental and economic perspectives.
