ATCO and Future Fuel RNG
The project is a first-of-kind commercial demonstration to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas at an agricultural operation. The RNG will be injected into the Alberta pipeline system where a portion will be used within Alberta in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fleet vehicles and commercial applications. This project addresses a gap that bridges feedstock…
Multi Component Downhole Injection System
Challenger Technical Service’s MCDIS project is designed to eliminate fugitive GHG emissions that occur on existing oil and gas wells. The system will offer a dramatic improvement in the success rate and lifetime of a gas migration repair by introducing new intervention equipment and methods. Two materials are injected separately into a leaking wellbore, where…
Fort Saskatchewan Hydrogen Blending
In a first of its kind project for Alberta, ATCO will blend hydrogen into a subsection of its Fort Saskatchewan natural gas distribution system at a concentration of five percent, by volume. Because combustion of hydrogen emits only water, blending hydrogen into natural gas reduces the greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of the natural gas stream.…
Canadian Natural Fugitive Emissions Study Using Aerial Detection Technology
Canadian Natural will pilot an Alternative Fugitive Emissions Management (alt-FEMP) aerial screening technology coupled with ground-based detection. This project is intended to be a part of Canadian Natural’s larger overall Alt-FEMP program, which will cover their conventional oil and gas facilities, province-wide, across a diverse set of operational conditions. With Canadian Natural’s scale (almost 20%…
Anax Power Turboexpander Project
The Anax Turboexpander provides clean, distributed electricity from the pressure and flow of natural gas, without combustion. The technology repurposes energy lost in the natural gas let-down process at network pressure reducing stations to drive an in-line generator which is installed in parallel with natural gas pressure reducing valves. Primary customers are natural gas power…
Whitecourt Transmission Deferral Battery
The Whitecourt Transmission Deferral Battery project involves installing a 20 MW/20 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the existing Whitecourt substation, minimizing or eliminating the need to build a new transmission line in the area. This project will demonstrate the competitive advantage of energy storage in enabling the growth of Alberta’s low-carbon electricity generation.…
Targeted PureJet Incinerators for Methane Challenges
PTAC has partnered with Alberta-based Atlantis labs as well as Cenovus Energy and Husky Energy to develop and demonstrate a small-scale, enclosed incinerator at industry sites in the province where flaring is currently unavailable or uneconomic, targeted at eliminating methane that would otherwise be vented. The portability of the patented PureJet Incinerator device, coupled with…
High Temperature Membranes for SAGD PW Treatment
Suncor will partner with Devon Energy and Suez (formerly GE Water) to demonstrate High Temperature Reverse Osmosis (HTRO) membranes for SAGD water treatment. The project will validate the technology for application in high-temperature SAGD conditions. If successful, the membranes could eliminate the need to reduce the temperature and pressure of produced water prior to water…
Enhanced Bitumen Recovery Technology Pilot
Imperial is advancing a field trial of its Enhanced Bitumen Recovery Technology (EBRT) to validate the method and prepare it for commercial use. The process uses a recovery solution to dilute and mobilize bitumen in the reservoir, reducing the amount of steam needed as much as 90% compared to current methods. Alternatives to steam are…
Lower Carbon Fuels Project
This Low Carbon Fuels project involves switching from using natural gas at Lafarge’s Exshawplant to using waste-derived fuels that would otherwise end up in landfills. Technologies for fuel handling, processing, and injection will be installed at the site to replace 50 per cent of its natural gas use. The implementation at Exshaw will be supported…
