One of the problems that Europe is going to encounter is that they don\u2019t have enough biomass to continue to produce all of the various chemicals and uses that they are currently engaged in.    They are on a quest for biomass.   The goal for us is to ensure  that we don\u2019t simply give biomass away to the Europeans.  But rather encourage them to build new facilities, create new economic opportunity, new jobs in the bio economy here in Alberta.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSteve Price says biomass is also the source of nano crystalline cellulose, a plant material that can enhance oil recovery and strengthen aircraft materials.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b> ALBERTA INNOVATES BIO SOLUTIONS\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bio.albertainnovates.ca\">Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The Alberta Innovates consolidation launched on November 1, 2016.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Alberta Innovates system, AI Bio Solutions invests in research and innovation to grow prosperity in Alberta&#8217;s agriculture, food and forestry sectors.
