SUMMARY:Success stories and lessons learned from the use of agricultural biomass for bioenergy production in the European Union
DESCRIPTION:A free webinar\, jointly presented by Biomass Canada Cluster and AgroBioHeat\, will take place Wednesday\, May 5 at 10 a.m. EST. \n\n\n\nThe webinar is called “Success stories and lessons learned from the use of agricultural biomass for bioenergy production in the European Union.” \n\n\n\nCanada is globally regarded as a leading producer\, processor and exporter of high-quality oilseeds\, pulses\, and cereal grains\, and its unique geography\, including several different climatic zones and millions of hectares of fertile soil\, allows producers to grow diverse and numerous crops. \n\n\n\nRead more. \n\n\n\nTo view the list of panelists and their biographies\, click Panelists.

SUMMARY:OBPC Biomass Forum & AGM 2013
DESCRIPTION:Agenda\n\n\n\n1 Stone Road W.\, Guelph Ontario\, January 23\, 2013 \n\n\n\nSpeaker BiosDownload\n\n\n\nRegistration and Networking (6:30 pm- 7:00 pm) \n\n\n\n“The Cents in Ontario Biomass – Budding Opportunities in an Emerging Biomass Market”: Presentation by Nick Betts\, OSCIA (40 minutes\, including Q&A) \n\n\n\nBiomass in OntarioThe agricultural biomass industry has been developing in Ontario for over a decade\, with various ventures and opportunities coming and moving by. 2013 presents a state where the industry is maturing and requires the input and cooperation of individuals and corporations across the spectrum of agriculture\, aggregation\, manufacturing and retail to succeed. What these options are\, where they exist\, and what the state of these markets at a global level can be deceiving and hard to evaluate. This presentation will discuss some of the challenges and successes in this developing market.OBPC Growers’ GuideIntroduction of the document\, talk about sources\, desire to make a “one-stop” document for farmers.Membership DevelopmentComing together as a united\, farmer-driven front (Cooperative) and approach industry\, clearly stating your current abilities\, ramp-up abilities and potential with more members.\n\n\n\nIntroduction of Biomass Posters by UofG Students (5 minutes) \n\n\n\nBreak for Networking and Poster Presentations (15 minutes) \n\n\n\n“The Challenge of Connecting the Biomass Sectors” (75 minutes) \n\n\n\nA Panel Discussion – co-moderated by Ian McDonald\, OMAFRA and Jim Todd\, OMAFRA\n\n\n\nPanel members: \n\n\n\nMurray McLaughlin – Executive Director at Bioindustrial Innovation CenterCharles Lalonde – Ontario Federation of Agriculture & CJ Agren ConsultingBarry S.
