Bioproduct AgSci Cluster Initiative ($10 million, 4 years):
- Funded through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)
- Support R&D of bioproducts with a benefit to agriculture
- Strong focus on achieving milestones leading to commercialization
Centre for Commercialization of Sustainable Chemistry Innovation (COMM SCI) ($27 million, 4 years):
- Funded through FedDev IRD ($12 million) and MRIS ($3 million)
- BIC, partners and participants provide $12 million matching funds
- $11 million investment fund for startup companies
- $16 million for commercialization support activities
Applied research for eliminating technology barriers Access to plug and play facilities for pilot and demonstration plants Access to technical services to resolve supply chain and market barriers Access to networks and engineering resources to support commercialization Financial support through access to project funding

BIC has a Balanced Portfolio Approach
With focus on the hybrid chemistry value chain
$5.5 million in investment leveraging $143 million of matching funds through other
- investments. IPO’s and more
investments have taken this to
- ver $500 million
Creating 2000+ jobs through 14 investments , 4 demonstration plants, and one major $120 million bio-based chemistry plant Adding value to renewable resources (forestry, agriculture and recycled waste) Converting and lowering green house gases (GHG’S)

Developing the Ontario Bio-economy
Reducing GHG emissions and climate impacts
BioAmber produces succinic acid from corn sugar at their 30 KT/year production facility in Sarnia. LCA estimates 98% GHG reduction relative to petroleum (210 KT/year = 45,000 mid-size cars) Ecosynthetix produces a bio-latex polymer from starch at their production facilities (100 KT/year) GHG reduction estimated between 300 – 400 KT/year (60,000 – 80,000 mid-size cars) Woodland Biofuels produces ethanol from wood at their demonstration plant in Sarnia Raising funds to build commercial scale Renix has developed an uninterupted ion- exchange technology which increases resin efficiency and reduces operating costs > 30% GHG reduction estimates not yet determined

Developing the Ontario Bio-economy
Where should we focus
Ontario needs to continue developing a well- articulated vision and integrated approach for the bioeconomy Commercialization of first generation technologies remains challenging, access to capital and fostering risk-sharing with government must be a priority to bridge the valley of death A top priority is demonstrating success in commercialization of technology in Ontario…
