Powering Canada With Energy!

There is a growing concern nowadays for the environment, and numerous countries have taken the initiative to promote the usage of renewable energy to reduce humanity's effect on the planet. Canada is one such country taking the lead in green technologies, and using biofuels is among the steps they have taken in turning into one of the world's leaders in the consumption of ecologically friendly fuels.

Biofuels are just liquid fuels made from plant and animal materials. Because this matter is biodegradable, it is not just capable of powering automobiles and heating homes, however the waste is then taken in when again into the earth, supporting new life able to provide future renewable resource sources.

Bioethanol, commonly described as simply ethanol, is the most common biofuel presently in production. Canada's federal government has actually remembered of ethanol's potential as an alternative renewable resource and created a strategy requiring gas to contain 5% ethanol by the end of this year. The strategy would also require diesel fuels to contain at least 2% ethanol by the end of 2012. As a matter of truth, the provincial federal government of Manitoba has taken a management role in the biodiesel market by creating mandates requiring similar portions as those developed by the federal government that will go into effect in 2010. This precedes the federal required by two years. Manitoba is known for its prairie lands, the crops that grow there, and the animals that graze upon these crops. The amount of plant and animal materials offered for the production of biofuels is fantastic. Manitoba has actually inspired the provincial government of British Columbia to adopt similar methods.

The corporation of Raven Biofuels Limited was developed to research and establish innovations conducive to efficient and prolific use of biofuels throughout Canada, and they have recognized British Columbia as a beginning point. Joining Raven Biofuels International Corporation (RBIC), their goal is to pay RBIC a fee providing them exclusive rights to biofuel advancement in Canada. Their intent is to construct the first industrial biorefinery and place it in Kamloops, British Columbia. Though it may appear as though a monopoly or trust would emerge from this collaboration, the goal is to set an example and to provide guidance to other prospective business ventures. Municipalities have partnered with British Columbia's provincial government to create the BC Bioenergy Strategy, which has actually already gathered $25 million to money a Biofuel Network focused on enhancing biofuel energy innovation not just in British Columbia, but throughout Canada.
