  1. Renewable Fuels: The Future Begins Now The Business of Clean Tech March 31, 2010Gordon QuaiattiniPresident

  2. Who is the CRFA Founded in 1984, the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association (CRFA) is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote renewable fuels for transportation through consumer awareness and government liaison activities. The CRFA membership is comprised of representatives from all levels of the ethanol and biodiesel industry, including: grain and cellulose ethanol producers, biodiesel producers, fuel technology providers and agricultural associations.

  3. The Case for Renewable Fuels Fossil fuels becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to extract Increasing energy consumption worldwide due to: • Growing populations • Economic growth in emerging nations Demand for energy security and independence

  4. The World is Moving Beyond Oil

  5. Government Commitment on Renewable Fuels “Require 5% average renewable content in Canadian gasoline and diesel fuel, such as ethanol and biodiesel, by end of 2010.”

  6. Renewable Fuels & Farmers: A Beneficial Partnership

  7. Why renewable fuels are here to stay 1. The Economic Story Government support on both the policy and financial fronts Shift in auto industry toward “Flex fuel” vehicles that can run on up to 85% ethanol.

  8. Why renewable fuels are here to stay What are the tangible benefits of building a renewable fuels plant in your community? • Jobs • Additional investment • Increased tax revenue, and more... 1. The Economic Story

  9. Why renewable fuels are here to stay Ethanol & biodiesel greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions as compared with oil. (Equivalent to a million fewer cars on the road.) Ethanol & biodiesel offer superior energy balance now, and the potential for even better performance down the road. 2. The Environment Story

  10. This is only the beginning • A bio-revolution is underway: it will change the way we think, the choices we make and the type of economy we have. • Further benefits will accrue and further markets will open to rural communities, farmers and farm families. • Renewable fuels won’t supplant oil in our lifetimes, but their influence and their share of the market will grow each year.

  11. Canada: A renewable fuels leader Renewable fuels are a commercial reality NOW. Supporting renewable fuels research and production today ensures Canada a leadership role in the critical clean-energy sector of tomorrow. Good jobs for communities that need them. A “good news” story for rural communities and the agriculture industry.

  12. The future begins now The price of oil will fluctuate but the reality of oil never will – it is a energy source of limited lifespan. Renewable fuels represent a cleaner, more efficient and renewable alternative.
