A techno-economic assessment of bitumen and synthetic crude oil transport (SCO) in the Canadian oil sands industry: Oil via rail or pipeline?
Download2017-01-01
Verma, Aman, Nimana, Balwinder S., Olateju, Babatunde, Rahman, Md. Mustafizur, Radpour, Saeidreza, Canter, Christina E., Subramanyam, Veena, Paramashivan, Deepak, Vaezi, Mahdi, Kumar, Amit
The growth in bitumen and synthetic crude oil (SCO) production in the Canadian oil sands industry has superseded pipeline capacity growth in recent years, leading to the increased interest in the transport of crude oil by rail to desired markets. However, the specific techno-economic parameters...

Alberta’s food processing industry is the second largest food waste producer after the household sector. Most of the waste currently produced from the food processing industry is landfilled. Decomposing landfill waste, moreover, emits greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming. In...
