Pellet production and export in North America(From 0 tonnes in 2000 to 6 million tonnes today)

* 2.4 Million tonnes production in Canada (2 million tonnes exported)

* 42 plants in Canada – 3 million production capacity (2 million in BC)

* Recent bigger scale plants in BC 300 – 400 thousand tonnes (Pinnacle pellets )

* 3.5 million tonnes production in US and mostly in-house use (5.5 million tonnes capacity)

Most of the Canadian pellet production is exported!

Used for combustion/cogeneration, not as a “biofuel feedstock”

“Long Distance Transportation” sectors (aviation, marine, rail and trucks) unique dependence on drop-in biofuels

Cannot readily use ethanol or biodiesel Cannot be electrified: too long distance, too

large batteries New environmental regulations: e.g. GHG &

sulfur emissions

Questions


Climate 2050 Public Attitudes & Next Steps

Roger QuanDIRECTOR, AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Lucy DusoPOLICY COORDINATOR, EXTERNAL RELATIONS

Climate Action Committee, February 7 2018

5.4


2

Public attitudes research purpose

• Public understanding on the causes of climate change

• Aspects of climate change that are of most concern

• Perceived level of climate action by various organizations

• Support for future climate actions


• Local researcher expertise

• Best practices

• Benchmarking questions

• Reference of existing Canadian research

3

Developing the questions


1. Residents are highly aware of and concerned about climate change,and the impacts in our region.

2. Residents show low awareness of current climate actions taken bylocal government.

3. Residents indicate high support in principle for some authority, localgovernment included, to take initiative and actions to address climatechange.

Key findings


5

Additional findings – sense of place Climate Action Committee

Vast majority feel they understand climate change issues

Most common identified impacts• Weather severity, including droughts and floods• Additional concerns are sea levels, warming oceans, wildfire and

loss of agriculture land

6

Public understanding of the data


Most common identified emission sources• Cars, trucks and vehicles

Gaps in knowledge about emissions sources • Overestimate industry, deforestation, planes ships and trains

landfills and aerosols • Underestimate buildings

7

Public understanding of the data


Nearly half reported• No actions or don’t know

Most common• Waste reduction• Alternate transportation

Less common (examples)• City climate plans, water conservation, green space, local

government green buildings and operations8

Awareness of local actions


• Reduce pollution that causes climate change

• Regulate the pollutants that cause climate change

• Protect people and property from climate change

• Increase the price on pollution that causes climate change

9

Strong support for local actions


10

Preliminary feedback on climate actions

Support for government actions demonstrated to make a difference:• Regulate land development in vulnerable areas

• Invest in public transportation

• Provide incentives to reduce household pollution• Require builders to inform buyers of a home’s energy

requirements

• Regulate climate pollution from businessesClimate Action Committee

Support for government actions demonstrated to make a difference:• Provide incentives to make e-vehicles more affordable

• Charge businesses for climate air pollution

• Increase access to public e-vehicle charging stations

• Charge a fee to higher-climate polluting vehicles
