Sawmill – Biomass – Boardplants – Pulp & Paper – Power Generation – Mining As McDonald rightly points out, there’s no silver bullet. A green future will use solar, biofuel, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, nuclear, fusion and hydrogen power. But there is still much to do. Ac-cording to McDonald, green energy is still a fringe component of our energy supply, with wind accounting for only 3.5 per cent of our energy and biomass providing a mere 1.4 per cent. The good news is that bioenergy from our forests is gaining trac-tion in remote communities across Cana-da, the Maritimes and even in provinces once known for their abundant supply of hydroelectric power. Our sector, long re-spected across Europe, the U.K. and Japan is quickly making its mark at home. I hope you’ll be able to join our con-ference this year as we examine the glob-al demand for clean energy solutions and discuss our sector’s state of readiness. We will explore trending safety initiatives like process safety management to ensure our sector is not just ready to grow, but to do so safely. We will learn from First Nations leaders who are advancing Indigenous-led approaches to sustainability using ances-tral wisdom and hear about modern tools to demonstrate compliance with emerging trade requirements. Together we will also examine the future of AI in achieving our sector’s full potential. I look forward to seeing you in Victoria, B.C. • www.alliedblower.com Phone: 800-576-3611 Surrey,BC Vernon,BC WilliamsLake,BC Edmonton,Alberta PrinceAlbert,Sask Mobile, Alabama 50 years of Industrial Air Systems CFI_AlliedBlower_JanFeb24_MLD.indd 1 2024-01-23 1:51 PM Detroit Comb Equip & Pellet Meter Equip 4.6875in x 4.75in 2024-06-20 OUTLINE.indd 1 CB_Detroit Stoker_Summer24_CSA.indd 1 6/20/2024 3:17:37 PM Canadian BIOMASS 9 2024-06-21 12:22 PM
