Clean Tech leaders talk about British Columbia's advantages

British Columbia is a world-class centre for hydrogen and fuel cell technology, enjoying 16 per cent of global market share in this clean technology sector. Most of the $1-billion-plus invested in hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Canada since 2002 has gone to industry-leading British Columbia, making it a desirable location for companies interested in developing and integrating fuel cell technologies.

In 2012, Mercedes-Benz, whose parent company Daimler AG is a fuel cell pioneer in Europe, opened a 35,500-square-foot manufacturing plant in Burnaby, British Columbia, aided by British Columbia’s Trade and Investment team in Vancouver who helped steer the due diligence required for Mercedes-Benz to make Burnaby its manufacturing centre of choice.

Mercedes-Benz chose Burnaby as the location for its new plant because it’s at the centre of Metro Vancouver’s industrial fuel cell cluster, an established network that fosters innovation. In January of 2013, this cluster made international news when it was announced that Daimler, Ford Motor Company and Renault-Nissan are teaming up to speed development of cars that run on hydrogen and that one of the primary work sites will be Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation, a Burnaby-based company in which Daimler holds a majority interest. The three automotive giants plan to bring a vehicle to market in as little as four years.

While Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Renault-Nissan are busy working on their fuel-cell-powered car, British Columbia fuel cell innovators Ballard Power, Powertech Labs and Green Light Innovation are heading off to Tokyo, Japan for Fuel Cell Expo 2013, February 27-March 3, to share their expertise and learn from other fuel cell industry leaders.  Fuel Cell Expo is one of the world’s largest industry events, offering opportunities to meet fuel cell & system manufacturers from around the globe, as well as hydrogen and fuel cell users from various industries and energy related professions.

Can’t make it to Tokyo this year? Closer to home the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association has developed a new webinar series, titled “Kicking Butt in Overseas Clean-Tech Markets”, to help its members and other clean tech companies create additional capacity to build revenue and market share by taking their technology to new customers and new markets overseas.

 Led by Gustavo Zentner, President of InterPOC Inc, a Canadian consulting and training company specializing in international trade, the seven-part series will address the specific opportunities and challenges of marketing clean technology by examining trade planning, international execution, trade financing and cultural sensitivities. Specific webinars will focus on selling to Korea, China, and India.

Visit the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association to register. The free webinar series begins Thursday February 21^st, 2013.

Leading green building innovators from British Columbia will be at GreenBuild 2012 in San Francisco from November 14-16, 2012.  Sustainable wood products producers Canfor and Gorman Brothers Lumber, along with British Columbia’s Trade and Investment team from California, will be on hand to demonstrate why British Columbia is a world leader in green building products and design.

Developers around the world are looking for ways to reduce the immense environmental impact of constructing and operating buildings. Wood’s many advantages – renewable, energy efficient, lightweight, durable, flexible – make it an excellent choice for any green building project, large or small.

Formed in 2011, the “reThink Wood” initiative is a coalition of organizations representing North America’s wood products industry who have banded together to help promote the use of wood in construction. As a member of the reThink Wood coalition, British Columbia is one of the strongest advocates for wood in the built environment. Our forests produce approximately 50 per cent of the wood products exported from Canada, and we are the world’s largest exporter of softwood building products.

British Columbia is unique among the world’s leading forest producers because 94 per cent of our land base is publicly owned, and forest activities on public land must follow strict forest management laws. This makes British Columbia a preferred supplier: the quality of our forest products is exceptional, and we have earned global respect as an international leader in sustainable forest management.

Here in British Columbia we are working to set an example for the world to follow.  In 2009, we introduced a strategy to expand the use of wood products, technologies and services within British Columbia and create a cultural preference for building and living with wood. Through our domestic Wood First Initiative, implemented by British Columbia’s Forestry Innovation Investment, we have demonstrated the structural, architectural and artistic uses of wood, and have expanded the potential for wood use in building design. Did you know you can build up to six storeys in residential construction?

Are you considering wood for your next construction project? British Columbia wood product suppliers number more then 600, including a vast array of exterior and interior, construction and finishing, specialty and reclaimed products of all kinds. Get connected with them here.

Aerial view of London VeloPark by EG Focus

British Columbia forest products are lending a crisp edge to the velodrome built for the Summer Olympics in London, which kick off July 27 and run through August 12. Colloquially known as “the Pringle” on account of the resemblance between the popular curved potato snack and the stadium’s upper half, London’s VeloPark is clad with 24,000 pieces of Western Red Cedar from British Columbia.

Touted as potentially the most sustainable sports venue in London, the 6,000-seat structure was designed and built to strict sustainability targets set by London’s Olympic Delivery Authority, and the design-build team developed a design employing materials meeting or exceeding the building’s requirements. British Columbia-grown Western Red Cedar siding was at the top of the list for the top level of the stadium, not only because it is attractive and durable, but because it enjoys an A+ environmental rating in the U.K. from the Building Research Establishment, making it the product of choice among U.K. architects specifying materials that reflect best environmental practice.

In addition, an industry-led chain-of-custody certification program ensures Canada remains a low-risk supplier of timber under new European Union laws taking effect next year designed to crack down on trade in illegal timber. Heightened interest in natural materials and traditional craftsmanship has also helped boost the popularity of wood in the U.K.

Learn more about British Columbia’s tree species and wood products at www.naturallywood.com

Cedar has been especially popular, featured in projects from a major department store in Cheshire to a seniors’ home in Surrey, U.K.. With few of its own forests to meet demand, U.K. designers look abroad for supply. British Columbia has become a source of choice, because the Pacific Northwest of North America is the only place where Western Red Cedar grows. Shipments of Western Red Cedar to European Union countries represented 54 per cent of offshore shipments in 2011, with the U.K. being the single largest market within the EU at 27 per cent of the total (or 14.6 per cent of total exports).

The natural resource combined with a living legacy of working with wood allowed several British Columbia companies to meet the stringent demands of the London project. British Columbia’s highly skilled tradespeople identified the trees to be felled and harvested the timber; the Probyn Group of New Westminster milled the lumber and Power Wood Corp. of Surrey, British Columbia finished the pieces to the specifications required for the velodrome. The result is a building as sustainable as cedar itself.

Clad with wood, the structure uses dramatically less steel per square foot than most other venues at the London Olympics. The roof collects rainwater, reducing demand for municipal water, and its design reduces energy requirements for both lighting and ventilation, which in turn reduces carbon emissions. The cedar cladding, naturally, stores carbon, further contributing to the building’s low carbon footprint.

British Columbia wood also features in the Cultural Olympiad accompanying the games. Wood that wasn’t used in the velodrome’s construction was donated to The Boat Project, which built a 30-foot vessel named Collective Spirit incorporating thousands of pieces of wood – each bearing a story – from around the U.K.

What uses are you making of British Columbia wood, and why?

British Columbia wood products offer many advantages to meet the needs of the construction industry worldwide.

Business leaders from Korea, Austria, the Netherlands and around the world will explore cutting-edge energy concepts at the fifth International Bioenergy Conference and Exhibition in Prince George, the bioenergy capital of Canada, from June 13 to 15. The conference highlights homegrown innovation from British Columbia, the largest producer of forest and bioenergy products in Canada.

The event, Canada’s longest-running conference devoted to the global bioenergy sector, is co-hosted by the government-funded and industry-led BC Bioenergy Network. British Columbia’s leadership in this sector is strongly supported by the BC Bioenergy Network’s investments in research, technology development and capacity-building.

Conference sessions include Pellets in the New Bioeconomy, featuring panelist Yon-Gyun Roh representing the Korea East-West Power Co. (EWP), which is building the highest-capacity biomass power plant in Korea. Demand for clean energy sources, including bioenergy, is increasing in Korea, propelled by the country’s Low Carbon Green Growth strategy. With our abundant wood fibre resources and strategic location at the commercial crossroads of Asia Pacific and North America, British Columbia is ideally positioned to help Korea achieve its vision.

Some of British Columbia’s best-known and most innovative bioenergy companies are exhibiting at this year’s show, including Pinnacle Renewable Energy Group, western Canada’s longest-established pellet producer. Pinnacle operates six pellet plants across British Columbia, with an annual production capacity well over one million tons. Visitors will learn about leading-edge bioenergy equipment such as the unique biomass dryers designed by Vancouver’s Altentech Power Inc. The company’s vertical, small-footprint dryers are engineered to dry virtually any type of biomass using an “in vacuum” process that reduces particulate emissions.

In addition to seeing the latest technology on display at the exhibition, conference-goers will have a chance to tour the award-winning bioenergy system at Canada’s green university, the University of Northern British Columbia. The UNBC bioenergy plant, which opened in March 2011, uses wood waste from a local sawmill to heat core campus buildings. Provided by Vancouver-based Nexterra, a global leader in advanced industrial biomass gasifications systems, the system reduces fossil fuel consumption by around 85 per cent.

Along with hosting this global bioenergy conference, British Columbia is advancing the future of the industry year-round. Let us know how bioenergy fits into your energy mix and follow the conference in real time on Twitter with @BCTradeInvest and @bioenergyconf.

It’s been another great year for GLOBE 2012, the influential conference and fair on business and the environment. The need for global collaboration (or ‘collaboratory’ in the words of Jim Weigand, President of Dupont Sustainable Solutions) was a common thread through this week’s sessions.

GLOBE brought together the right elements for the collaboratory, including innovative developers of technology, multinational companies, key policy makers, associations and interest groups. Fittingly, they all met in Vancouver, British Columbia, which has pledged to be world’s greenest city by 2020.

At a Friday morning session, FortisBC and the U.S.-based Harvest Power discussed collaborating on waste to energy biogas projects. One of Harvest Power’s British Columbia companies is also working with the BC Bioenergy Network to deliver electricity to BC Hydro – developing an innovative model for other waste to energy projects in North America.

British Columbia is an ideal location to develop and commercialize bioenergy products and technologies – from wood as well as waste. With almost 11 billion cubic metres of timber, a strategic location at the commercial crossroads of Asia Pacific and North America, a supportive business environment, and a culture of clean technology collaboration, it is no wonder we already produce more biomass energy than any other region of North America.
