Alberta Innovates, in partnership with industry, government and other organizations, recently released the results of a study that investigates the best opportunities for “Bitumen Beyond Combustion” (BBC). This study provides insights into high-value products that can be made by, or in partnership with Alberta’s oil sands industry.

A new study released by Global Forest Watch Canada finds that significant amounts of greenhouse gases are emitted through the disturbance and/or removal of biocarbon (trees, shrubs, peats), which overlay Alberta’s oil sands. The bituminous sands industry reported emissions of 28.5 megatonnes of carbon, 873.4 megatonnes.

Gasoline section shows results for fuel derived from both conventional oil and oil sands. The study found that shale gas (SG) well completion and workover emissions are a much more significant factor as compared to a conventional natural gas (NG) pathway. Expansion bars show the components of fuel production.

On-road transportation accounts for approximately 20% of United States energy consumption. The team built on the Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) model, version 1.8d1, from Argonne National Laboratory. Associated tailpipe emissions alone account for 40?60% —Tessum et al.
