Emissions From Oilsands Comparable To Other Crude Oils

摘要

Two independent studies have found direct emissions from producing, transporting and refining oilsands crude are in the same range as those of the other crudes refined in the United States.The Life-Cycle Analysis of North American and Imported Crude Oils is based on two independent studies that comprise the first robust comparison of domestic, imported and oilsands crude processes in U.S. refineries. The research, conducted over the past year by U.S.-based consulting companies Jacobs Consultancy and TIAX LLC, was funded by the Alberta Energy Research Institute.
