Description: |
Alberta Innovates is a catalyst for innovation. As a Government of Alberta corporation and consistent with Government priorities, Alberta Innovates supports research and innovation that lead to economic diversification, enhanced environmental performance, and social well-being. Specifically, Alberta Innovates is furthering the development of non-combustion products and their production technologies, derived from bitumen contained in Alberta?s extensive oil sands. The ?Bitumen Beyond Combustion (BBC)? Project has been created with goals to: diversify the uses of oil sands bitumen, resulting in high-value, large-scale non-combustion products that can be made by or in partnership with Alberta?s oil sands industry; accommodate increasing bitumen production in Alberta, by creating new and/or expanded markets for bitumen and bitumen-derived products; reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with bitumen and offset potential lessening in the demand growth of bitumen, resulting from factors that include increased global oil supplies, environmental concerns about the use of oil-based fossil fuels, energy conservation, and electrification of transportation. The 2018 is making available up to $2 million over two years and invites proposals that build on and extend the findings of the previous studies. |
