Effect of dried distillers’ grains with solubles on greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle
DownloadSpring 2014
Four experiments were conducted to determine the impact of dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from beef cattle. The first compared in vitro methane (CH4) production from corn DDGS (CDDGS, ~30% crude protein [CP]) and wheat DDGS (WDDGS, ~40% CP dry...

Effects of feeding 3-nitrooxypropanol to lactating dairy cows on methane emissions, animal performance and rumen fermentation
DownloadFall 2014
Methane emissions from ruminants are of great concern as they contribute to greenhouse gasses emitted within the atmosphere. The objective of this research was to evaluate a novel biochemical compound, 3-nitrooxypropanol, on its ability to reduce methane emissions and its impact on animal...

Albertan oil sands ores are becoming more difficult to process efficiently as the clay content of the ore increases and the grade of the ore worsens. A key to improving the extraction of bitumen from low-grade oil sands, thereby increasing the longevity of this critical resource, is reducing the...

Estimation of the Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Bitumen-Derived Petroleum Fuels using Enhanced Solvent Extraction Incorporating Electromagnetic Heating (ESEIEH) and Toe-to-Heel Air Injection (THAI) Extraction Technologies
DownloadSpring 2019
There is increased focus on reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to reduce global warming. Combustion of fossil fuels are a key contributor to emissions of GHG. Alberta is the largest hydrocarbon base in North America due to its oil sands deposit. Bitumen from oil sands is refined to...

The main objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of 3-nitrooxypropanol (NOP) to lower enteric methane (CH4) production by ruminants. Methane is an undesirable byproduct of enteric fermentation that represents a loss of energy to the animal. Additionally, CH4 is a greenhouse gas...

Extraction of Hydrocarbons from Bitumen and Bitumen-containing Process and Process Waste Streams using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
DownloadSpring 2019
Extractions of hydrocarbons from bitumen and bitumen-containing process and process waste streams generated from surface mined oil sands were conducted using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). Dynamic extractions were performed on a bench-scale batch supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)...
