Driving force for BDC
Significant value
Significant value will be added to industry through education, promotion and deployment of energy reduction and efficient, integrated bioprocesses, including biochemicals, biopower, and biofuels.
Maintain and Increase Value of Forests
Maintain growth of forests through the value that is added to the forest and the tree through good
markets for wood. Biorenewable products are good for forests.
Manage projects and processes without government subsidy
Only projects and processes that will be financially viable, long term without any government subsidy will be supported. BDC recognizes the need to be economic without long-term government subsidies.
Sustainability of wood supply
Sustainability of wood supply is a far better criterion for policy making than renewability, and all parties should be educated about the reasons.
Maintaining sales market
Achieving or maintaining fair markets for the sale of products including biochemicals, biopower, and biofuel is good for the country. BDC is dedicated to assisting the Forest Products Industry in utilizing leading-edge bioprocesses to achieve the highest value from their biomass streams.
Member-driven
Focus of all activity will be member-driven and to provide value to the members through brokering partnerships & providing educational opportunities, networking, information, guidance and assistance with projects and partnerships where synergies exist.
