Ontario is entering a critical phase in the development of its future energy supply. Renewable energy sources, including biomass, will drive future economic development, but there is growing apprehension that their deployment will also drive prices higher and cripple future competitiveness. How are industries and communities responding to these issues as they incorporate biomass-to-energy alternatives? What role will the biorefinery play in our future? Perhaps most importantly, what policies best serve Ontario’s people and the environment? Please join as we explore these issues from the perspective of industry, community, government, and research. We invite you to be part of the discussion- and to help us find solutions!
