$998,000.00

FY 2012-13 · 2013-03-18

Summary
The objective of this Project is to provide the fundamental scientific insights and engineering data to support successful scale-up and application of non-aqueous extraction to the oilsands. Successful application of this technology would eliminate the tailings ponds, and the resulting environmental liability and risk, and substantially reduce the energy consumption for the extraction process, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Program Purpose (French)
Ce projet a pour objectif de fournir les données scientifiques et techniques fondamentales pour appuyer la mise à niveau et l'application réussies de l'extraction non aqueuse aux sables bitumineux. L'application réussie de cette technologie permettrait d'éliminer les bassins de résidus de même que les responsabilités et les risques environnementaux qui en découlent et de réduire considérablement la consommation d'énergie du processus d'extraction, réduisant par le fait même les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.
