Yes, I think it's going to be very regionally specific. More of these fuels will be produced in areas closer to where their feedstocks are. So you're correct in pointing out that this is a bigger story on the prairies than it's going to be in the Maritimes. However, that's not to say that there aren't opportunities for production that are possible on a smaller scale because of the economics of various industries that are already located there. For instance, you would probably never on the prairies or in the midwest build an ethanol facility using potato waste, because you don't have as many potatoes growing there. There isn't an existing potato processing industry in Saskatchewan as there would be in P.E.I. and New Brunswick, but because there is potato processing in P.E.I. and New Brunswick, there is actually a potentially good feedstock.
Alain mentioned some of these other technologies very briefly, like Fischer-Tropsch technologies, in which you're gasifying wood fibre; or you could use a process similar to Iogen's, in which you're using enzymes to attack them. There's clearly a very vibrant forest industry in Atlantic Canada, which has generated feedstock that could be used for production of these fuels. Plus, there's also opportunity to import things like palm oil to make biodiesel. There's a company in Halifax that's making a biofuel using fish oil currently.
So there are some opportunities to do that, and the economics will be very regional, based on things that are already happening that are generating those feedstocks. So scale is important, but that's not to say that there won't be examples of smaller plants that, because of those local economics, are viable.
I think for Canada at large, this is a very good economic story. Saskatchewan doesn't have any oceans, but it does have agricultural land, so it doesn't mean supporting the fishing industry is bad for Canada just because Saskatchewan doesn't have an ocean. Having the prairie regions doing well I think is going to be good for all other parts of the country also.
