BRIMS was developed through a private sector company, a geomatics company. They work with both oil and gas and forest sector companies. They are the repository for much of the data associated with oil and gas and forestry operations in the province.
The data is housed in BRIMS and is accessible through BRIMS at the leisure and pleasure of the FMA holder, of the company. They have given blessing to public access. They obviously are looking for opportunities to see utilization of that biomass resource.
To what extent have they had open arms to embrace people wanting to come in and utilize it? It depends. If a new entrant in the marketplace comes in and looks at the biomass and says, “Well, it's waste. It has no value. You should be willing to give it to me for free”, the discussion ends pretty quickly. There has to be a recognition that, even though it's not currently being utilized in a production system, there is value, and the more people looking to utilize it, the more value it has.
Forest products companies have, for the most part, welcomed new entrepreneurs coming in and wanting to make use of residual materials.
