Natural Resources committee  I'd like to comment on that last question. In my opinion, we see fragmented efforts when we are looking at bioenergy and at some of the value-added products. Then you have mass timber. I think mass timber is definitely going to make a significant part of our economic recovery. At the same time, I think if you do the life-cycle analysis, you will get the type of mitigation of CO2 that you are looking for.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you for having me here. The way it works is we use wood pulp and forest residue. We have two different processes. One is a chemical pre-treatment and a laminate pre-treatment, depending on the application, which allows us to reduce the amount of energy we need in order for us to produce nanofibres from wood pulp.

Natural Resources committee  Definitely. There are three aspects. The first one is that the automotive industry is mostly using metals, and in most cases they are very high-density composites. By doing this, we can reduce the weight of the parts by about 50%. That keeps about 10 metric tons of vehicle parts [Inaudible—Editor] lifetime.

Natural Resources committee  We are looking at smart material right now. We have a carbon technology where we are generating our next product, which is a self-generating power-based mask, which means that if you cough, it will turn it automatically to energy and that energy can be transferred and give you sensing.

Natural Resources committee  Yes. It will be 30 seconds. On disposable packaging, not only are they now marketing hand disinfection agents, but they are also marketing coffee lids and other packaging materials, where they are looking at the needs for the high temperature resistance. On that note, I want to thank the committee.

Natural Resources committee  Chairman Maloney, I am very pleased to appear before you and your committee today. In my capacity as chief consultant for GreenNano Technologies, I will give a brief description of the company, its products, outlets and history. GreenNano Technologies was established in 2015 as a start-up company associated with the University of Toronto and GreenNano management to commercialize the invention of nanocellulose technology and carbon technology developed by inventors at the University of Toronto.
