Webinar: Opportunities and Challenges in Biomass Harvesting in Canada

Save the date!  10 a.m., Wednesday, August 20 Mark Ryans of FPInnovations will present a webinar, "Opportunities and Challenges in Biomass Harvesting in Canada," for our project on August 20 at 10 am. 

This is a reprise of the presentation he gave to our group during the trip to Thunder Bay.  Please RSVP to Lisa at lrluokkala@blandinfoundation.org, and feel free to invite others to attend. 

Here's a synopsis of what Mark will discuss: "The forest industry is a positive contributor to “green” energy across Canada. Moreover, it is well-positioned to take on a greater role in the emerging sector of renewable energy and chemicals from the forest. The recovery of harvest residues for bioenergy has occurred in Canada for over a decade, although until recently, there were only a limited number of operations. Compared to Nordic countries, we have some catching up to do in terms of our practices, guidelines and knowledge of the environmental impacts. However, time is of the essence if the industry is to seize the opportunity."
