Yes, absolutely. There are a number of different ways that the forestry sector could participate in energy substitution. The most direct and fastest way is through the generation of electricity by biomass-fuelled cogeneration facilities. We currently have four in Ontario now, in the forestry sector. Expanding the volume of biomass that we're converting to electricity doesn't generally get fuel to Saskatchewan, but it's a way of creating energy. Again, instead of biomass going into the atmosphere, we burn it. We still have an emission, but we've created electricity that's offset another emission somewhere else. That's a very direct way.
Another method is pellets. Pellets have their limitations. We have a pellet facility in Thunder Bay that is supplying pellets to the Atikokan OPG power plant. They do have limitations in terms of economic competition, so they can really work only if there's a subsidization process, so that the pellet can then be used to offset, say, coal or natural gas, because it can't compete directly economically.
There are technologies that are in place now and growing to create, basically, a substitute diesel product out of biomass. It is called pyrolysis, and that is emerging and growing, and there's also, interestingly enough, a sustainable aviation fuel that is getting more and more attention.
There are different opportunities out there, and all will need support.
