Countdown to solvents: CAPP developing ADSTRA-like plan as commercialization remains elusive

摘要

Arecent study from the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI) identifies six technology configurations for in situ oilsands production that have the potential to reduce costs by 34-40 per cent and emissions by more than 80 per cent, consequently delaying the time until the 100-megatonne emissions cap is reached "by several decades." Four of these technology configurations involve injecting or co-injecting solvents.
