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. These areas store 579 megatonnes (million tones) of biological carbon, mostly in peatlands.

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.

The proposed Keystone XL pipeline for transporting oilsands-derived crude to Gulf Coast refineries would have “ no material impact ” on US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, according to a new Insight report by IHS CERA. Future price volatility is to be expected. This indicates that oil sands can grow using rail; it is already happening.
