Our Prefab Vision

§  Design a sustainable, wooden, prefabricated building considering end-of-life requirements.

§  Construct in an “intelligent factory” using innovative, low-carbon-footprint materials and advanced manufacturing systems.

§  Deliver prefabricated units to construction sites through optimized logistics with zero impact on the local population.

15


Next Innovation and Derisking Challenge Prefabricated Construction §  Construction industry is risk adverse §  Market analysis shows huge opportunity in

multi-family residential and commercial §  Multi-stakeholder approach:

▫  NSERC funding ▫  $1 million budget over 3 years ▫  12 M.Sc. and Ph.D. projects ▫  6 industrial partners ▫  3 universities

16


CCFM’s Forest Bioeconomy Framework

§  Contribute to Canada’s “cleantech” ecosystem and create sustainable bio-based products for global markets

§  Reduce carbon emissions and help Canada reach its UN Climate Conference carbon reduction commitment

§  Provide economic growth and green jobs for rural communities and urban centres by accelerating the deployment of innovative technologies

§  Enhance the sustainability of the forest sector through research, innovation and strong public policy

§  Visit www.ccfm.org to view the Framework

17


Supercluster Biodesign Initiative

§  Well-aligned with the Framework §  Pan-Canadian initiative to develop low-carbon economic

opportunities for Canada §  Coordinated by FPInnovations, BioIndustrial Innovation

Canada (BIC), FPAC and Genome Canada §  Includes companies as diverse as Boeing, Ford, Resolute,

Canfor, WestJet, Air Canada and Nestle

18


Biodesign Initiative – Moving Forward

§  Areas of Focus: ▫  Sustainable Living ▫  Clean Transportation and Infrastructure

§  Commitments to Date: ▫  25+ industry partners ▫  15+ academic and public/private research institutes ▫  $400 million+ investment
