Abstract
In the late seventies, Canada put in place
several programs designed to support the
development and implementation of new ideas as
well as the improvement of old technologies to
utilize renewables as a source of industrial
energy. In spite of the present international
oil glut, we anticipate a continued growth in
conversions to biomass energy at least to the
end of the century.
This paper will look at some of the lessons
learned from the renewable energy programs in
general, and how they can be applied to
overcoming the barriers to biomass conversion
technologies. Some examples of conversion will
be given to show how these barriers are
identified and overcome.
