That's a very good question. It's an area that we're starting to do a little bit on.... I think the biomass has to be properly managed as well, but to build the awareness around it. As we look at that sector from our perspective in Sarnia, with Sarnia being a large agricultural community as well, we have the ability to reach out for straw and corn stover in the region, but also to grow some alternative crops.
We have research plots now at our research park in Sarnia, looking at miscanthus and switchgrass and some other biomass types of crops, to learn more about them and how you can process those as well. I think the opportunity is there. These plots at our site are open to the public to come and have a look at so they can at least see what some of these crops look like, as they read about them or hear about them at the same time. I think from a farming community perspective, the key is we still have to learn what the real value there is. Is there sufficient value to justify growing these crops as alternative crops, and so on?
So there's a lot of work that will have to be done over the next three to four years I think to see a significant growth in that sector in eastern Canada. In western Canada we're looking at camelina, triticale, and a few other crops that could be used for industrial uses as well.
There is a lot of early stage work in the development side of biomass-type crops that need to be developed, and also in the research processes for maximizing the use of those crops.
Hopefully that helps a little bit.
