Cancelled

The Jackfish waste heat recovery project aimed to increase the efficiency of the oil sands production process by utilizing waste heat. Funded through Round 6: Industrial Energy Efficiency, Devon Energy planned to install an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine, which can collect heat from lower temperature sources than the traditional steam turbine. The funding relationship was ultimately cancelled.
