Bio-economy: the economic activities related to the development and commercialization of products and processes – in whole or in part – using renewable biological sources from agriculture, forestry and marine. Biomass: is agriculture and forestry fibre, by products and other feedstocks such as livestock manure. Bio-Industrial Products: are products that use biomass to make chemicals materials and fuels. BioClusters: are bio-industrial companies that co-locate to share resources such as a side or waste stream to realize economic opportunities.

Alberta is unique: • Agriculture, Energy and Forestry in one jurisdiction
• Abundant Biomass • Forested lands: 38 M ha or 60% of the province
• Agriculture: 21M ha in agriculture, 9.3M ha in crops and
0.7M ha under irrigation (2009 Statistics)
• Alberta food manufacturing sales reached a record $11.8 B
in 2012. (Alberta Agri-Food Industries Data and Trends, Dec 2013)

Our Focus: Maximizing Value and Sustainability
1. New Opportunities for Ag Processing and Production Wastes / By-Products • Reduce / reuse / repurpose agricultural production and processing wastes • Reuse into bioenergy (biogas, bioethanol) • Zero waste (goal is to an integrated, collaborative and sustainable waste to resource)
2. Maximizing Value through Fractionation for Ingredients and Intermediaries • Increase utilization and product identification from grains, oilseeds, pulses and biomass • Understand feedstock • Facilitate value chain development
3. Facilitate Commercialization and market access • Create an environment for companies to demonstrate, test market, and prepare for
commercialization • Help for business connections, market information
