Different countries have different options open to them with regard to biomass. South America is obviously focusing on sugar cane. In the United States, corn could prove to be their best source of biomass energy. As for Canada, we are very rich in cellulose. However, cellulose technology is not as developed as corn and sugar cane bioethanol technology. As a result, fewer countries have undertaken this type of research.
Yesterday, we hosted a European delegation. We are continuing discussions with them with a view to developing joint scientific capacities, because the challenges we face are not insignificant. Extracting energy from cellulose is no easy task. We have to work together. We do not have a monopoly when it comes to ideas on the subject.
