We are mostly interested in direct heating because, as mentioned earlier, it is the most efficient mode of energy conversion. More transformation means more emissions, more energy used and more money required. As a result, we try to promote direct heating.
That would work really well with northern communities, because heating is a major need of theirs. Also, when it is very cold and Hydro-Québec cannot meet the demand during peak periods, it would help to alleviate the problem.
As for liquid biofuels, I am really not an expert in that area. I know that some people in the room are far more knowledgeable than I am on that subject. We specialize in solid biomass that is burned for direct heating.
