The whole approach to this.... Our largest market, or our sustaining market, has been the United States purely because the economics are the driver in the United States. We need to take a product, like manure, and create revenue from it. We have to go back to the basics of what manure is made of, break it into those components. Some of the things we are looking at.... I just want to talk to this. The lab facility that Chris talked about, that has been resurrected in British Columbia, is key to this development. It's absolutely key. We had to leave Canada to develop this.
In doing so, we have been able to take manure, the larger fraction of it, and concentrate nutrients that can be put in the form of a granular fertilizer and export it anywhere in the world. More important, the larger part of animal manure is fibre and that fibre has an unbelievable resource, and that resource has to be unlocked. We are currently looking at our friends from Dow. We use them. Their products are critical in our process, polyacrylamides. Without polyacrylamides, this would never work. It's absolutely critical.
Is that the end run? No, we continue to look for more organic or natural methods to do that, but until we find them, we have to use what's available to us, used, like Professor Jessop said, in very minute quantities to achieve our goals.
The fibre can be generated, turned into organic fertilizer once the lignins are exposed. Once we crack the sugars, they can all be exposed.
