Abstract
Thermochemical conversion of biomass in Canada has undergone a considerable transformation in approach and expectations over the last ten years. A decade ago, the promise of early commercialization quickly evaporated and was replaced by a more realistic assessment that the potential would likely not materialize except over the longer term. More recently this outlook has been modified slightly in the wake of unanticipated research progress and the surfacing of some special near-term market applications.
