About the BIC
Mandate: Develop a sustainable
bioeconomy for northern Ontario
An economy founded on biomass instead of
fossil fuels
…
where the basic building blocks for
materials, chemicals and energy
are derived from renewable biological
resources,
such as plant and animal sources

Drivers
Sustainable economic development
Northern energy poverty is “heat” poverty
Harvest future market opportunities

Reduce GHG
Reality Check
• Bioenergy
• Still 5 years to get ECA
• Fragmented policy and regulatory barriers
• Wasted resources in one-off “battles”
• Little development of domestic bioenergy market
• All projects
• Challenges securing supply
• Immature supply chains
• Few opportunities for “touch and feel”
• Northern communities have scarce resources
• Minimal benefit-sharing with FN’s and muni’s
No over-arching strategy
Policy and Regulatory Framework
MOE&CC – Environmental Compliance Approvals
MOE&CC – Renewable Energy Approval MNR&F - Forest tenure reform
MOE – Electricity vs Energy
MG&CS – TSSA boiler regulations
OMAFRA – Agricultural exemptions
Policy “holes” Quebec – no construction waste to landfills
UK – renewable heat incentives Internalized price of carbon
CETA - non-tariff trade barriers “disappear”
No over-arching strategy
Northern Ontario Bioeconomy Strategy
Union of Ontario Indians & Nipissing University/BIC
Northern Ontario Bioeconomy Strategy
• Project Outline • Develop framework (SEP-DEC)
• Take it to the people (JAN-FEB)
• Identify demo project locations and partners (FEB-MAR)
• Finalize the strategy (MAR-APR)
• Secure funding to implement the strategy (MAR-APR)
• Mission to Finland and Sweden (JUN)
• Prioritize model/foundational projects (Summer 2015)
• Host Northern Bioeconomy Conference (Fall 2015)
• Develop model/foundational projects (2016-2020)

Model Bioeconomy Region
• No access to natural gas = huge energy costs
• Economic collapse after forestry downturn
• Youth outmigration, shuttered commercial sector, unemployment 10%> than avg
• First community – managed forest in the new tenure model
• Nawiinginokiima - Ojibway word for “working together” • Ojibways of the Pic River First Nation, Pic Mobert First Nation, Hornepayne Aboriginal community,
Marathon, Terrace Bay, Hornepayne, Manitouwadge and White River
• District heating with biomass
• 100 km heat diet
• Mush sector conversion
• Bioproduct light manufacturing
• Greenhouses
