Nano-enabled biomaterials

Value proposition

Support the replacement of 25% of non-renewable petroleum-based materials by renewable biomaterials in consumer products by 2030.

The opportunity

Virtually all synthetic materials, solvents and adhesives in common use throughout the global economy are currently derived from hydrocarbon feedstock. These products have relied on foundational raw materials that have historically been extraordinarily inexpensive and in abundant supply. Biomass can replace petroleum feedstock to produce many commonly used materials and products. Canada has a large forest, chemicals and agricultural industry that are ready to diversify from commodity to high-value products. According to the USDA, there is an opportunity for significant bio-based market penetration.
