Canada’s oil production is set to jump by about 10 per cent over the next year and become one of the largest sources of increased supply around the world.

    I’m having a hard time interpreting the EXECSUM.

    But it looks to me that the 11% and 15% are extraction only. Refinement looks to be only 2% of emissions (I think total, but maybe that’s of energy)

      That’s crazy! Really puts in perspective how inefficient oilsands are from start to end.

      I imagine a lot of the smart chemical engineers working in this domain could transfer their skills for developing drugs, improve batteries, biofuels, recycling, etc.
