Innovation and the greening of Alberta’s oil sands

The goal of this paper is twofold. Part I looks at the historical experience and illustrates how current “cleaner” sources of liquid fuels were anything but in the first stages of their development. Part II describes how Alberta’s oil sands are being exploited and illustrates how “win-win-win” innovations are now taking place that are making this industry more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
