Think again, he says. When the President of Alberta-Pacific Forest Industries looks out a decade or two, he sees an industry that\u2019s likely to be utterly transformed, producing an array of high-value products from bioenergy to biochemicals.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In fact, pulp mills will no longer be called pulp mills, he says. They\u2019ll be known as biorefineries \u2014 the forest products industry\u2019s equivalent of petroleum refineries. And while mills like Al-Pac\u2019s 650,000-tonne-per-year operation 200 kilometres northeast of Edmonton will still churn out pulp as a core product, today\u2019s low profit margins will be boosted by new products such as biodiesel and biomethanol.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8230; <b>More at: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edmontonjournal.com\/technology\/Lamphier+From+pulp+mill+biorefinery\/5314890\/story.html\" >www.edmontonjournal.com\/technology\/Lamphier+From+pulp+mill+biorefinery\/5314890\/story.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Keywords: nanotechnology, kraft pulp, bioenergy, biomethanol, black liquor, nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Al Ward has a message for those who think the pulp industry is a 19th century dinosaur, destined to be obliterated in the digital age.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","nova_meta_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572],"tags":[],"supplier":[2756,2823,2824,2825],"class_list":["post-15309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","supplier-alberta-innovates-technology-futures-aitf","supplier-alberta-pacific-forest-industries","supplier-mitsubishi-corp","supplier-oji-paper-coltd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15309\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15309"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=15309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
