Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the recovery and extraction of crude bitumen from Canada's oil sands
Download2015-01-01
Nimana, Balwinder S., Canter, Christina E., Kumar, Amit
A model- FUNNEL-GHG-OS (FUNdamental ENgineering PrinciplEs- based ModeL for Estimation of GreenHouse Gases in the Oil Sands) was developed to estimate project-specific energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in major recovery and extraction processes in the oil sands, namely...

Life cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from Canada’s oil sands derived transportation fuels
Download2015-01-01
Nimana, Balwinder S., Canter, Christina E., Kumar, Amit
A comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) for transportation fuels (gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel) derived from Canada’s oil sands was conducted, and all the current possible pathways from bitumen extraction to use in vehicles were explored. Authors, in earlier studies, have presented the...
