A LANDSCAPE OF CONSTANT
CHANGE
“The ability to learn faster than the competition is often the only sustainable competitive advantage a company (or country) can have.”
Arie de Geus
3
Canada’s Strategic Advantages Abundance of biomass - agricultural and forestry

Creating a Bio-Hybrid Chemical Cluster Why it can work in Sarnia and Lambton County
Sarnia
Automotive and Manufacturing
– Located near to the leading automotive producing region in North America with access to major markets
– Manufacturers such as Magna and Woodbridge exploring bio-based parts
Chemicals, Materials, Energy
– $6 billion CDN in traditional chemical shipments from Sarnia alone, plus Canada’s largest ethanol plant, with potential for much more
– Pipelines from Western Canada, Eastern Canada and the US
Significant Research & Development in Ontario
– Over 20 universities in Ontario -- one of the world’s strongest clusters of education and research with highly qualified personnel
– Significant innovation and expertise in biofuels, bio-products,biomass and agri-food technologies
Agriculture, Forestry resources
– Strength in soybeans, corn, and wheat
– Availability of diverse biomass resources with excellent logistics
21
Canada’s existing Chemical industry in Sarnia forms the foundation for the Cluster with:
• access to energy, skilled labour and highly qualified personnel
• pipelines for raw materials and finished products
• rail, road and water transportation options available
• ready access to North American markets
Ontario’s farmers and foresters harvest and provide the biomass needed
Available Brownfield land developed into biochemical businesses such as:
• primary chemicals from bio-based sources (isobutene, succinic acid, levulinic acid, etc.)
• polymers, advanced chemicals/fuels and materials
• biomass production from local CO2 sources for use as fuels and chemical feedstock
• energy generation from biomass

Hybrid Chemical Success Factors
Economics –price and market
Performance – means matching /exceeding petroleum version of chemicals
Environmental aspects are typically valued as added benefits – sustainability; health
25
The Transformation Century The unprecedented convergence of change in
demographics, science, technology, governments and public attitudes is radically changing life on Earth, in countries , and in the industrial community
26
SUMMARY
We are in a world of CHANGE, rapid Change, which provides us with a tremendous opportunity as a nation to be global leaders
The Opportunities: 1. An opportunity to demonstrate global leadership in bio-based and
sustainable industries through cluster establishment.
2. An opportunity to integrate the fossil based, non-fossil and biogenetic industries by encouraging hybrid development as a cluster
3. An opportunity to create a national sustainability strategy to add value to regional and Canadian natural resources by building clusters
4. An opportunity to create global partnerships to ensure benefits to all members of the value chain.
What are the opportunities with Canada-Argentina?
