Program Purpose:
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.
