Forestry, agriculture and food production<\/strong> contribute about 25 billion dollars a year to the Alberta economy. <\/p>\n

As CEO of Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions, Dr. Stan Blade<\/strong> is guiding the province to a new paradigm for industry and innovation. And that’s a bio economy<\/strong> based on utilizing biomass in completely different ways. <\/p>\n

DR. STAN BLADE: <\/strong>And I would just take a couple of recent examples. To see Alberta-Pacific putting in a bio methanol plant, producing a chemical from wood chips. To see Millar Western in Whitecourt making an investment where they would treat their effluent in a different way using biological systems to get greater value from one of the co-product streams within their mill. In agriculture I think it’s a little bit more specific. People are thinking about what you can do with say wheat. If I think about the Permalex facility in Red Deer, they take wheat in on one end, they produce gluten, they produce flour, they produce ethanol. So a multiple number of streams coming from a resource. And I think there are a number of agricultural companies thinking about how they can play in this area as well. <\/em> <\/p>\n
