This section of the show will feature three days of renewable energy educational seminars in association with the Canadian Wind Energy Association and the Canadian Solar Industry Association. Members from these associations will showcase their products and drive the educational portion of this section of the event. CanSIA is a national trade association that represents approximately 650 solar energy companies throughout Canada. Since 1992, CanSIA has worked to develop a strong, efficient, ethical and professional Canadian solar energy industry with capacity to provide innovative solar energy solutions and to play a major role in the global transition to a sustainable, clean-energy future.
The Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) is a non-profit trade association that promotes the appropriate development and application of all aspects of wind energy in Canada, including the creation of a suitable policy environment.
Established in 1984, CanWEA represents the wind energy community — organizations and individuals who are directly involved in the development and application of wind energy technology, products and services.
The 2012 Renewable Energy feature will also highlight a presentation by Mark Stumborg of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada/Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada.
This presentation will provide an overview of the Biomass Inventory Mapping and Analysis Tool (BIMAT), which provides a GIS-based analysis of the location and sustainable amounts of selected agricultural crop residues, forest-based residues, and sorted municipal woody wastes.
The BIMAT tool was developed in cooperation with AAFC Research Branch, Canadian Forest Service (NRCan – CFS) and Environment Canada, and funded from the Canadian
Biomass Innovation Network (CBIN). A second aspect of the presentation will be a description of the applied research to develop alternative harvest systems for collecting
agricultural residues.
