12 Presentation by Clement W. Bowman June, 200812 An Early Attempt – Abasand Oil Plant Chapter 2: Commercialization

13 Presentation by Clement W. Bowman June, 200813 Suncor – The First Commercial Plant

14 Presentation by Clement W. Bowman June, 200814 Unlocking the Deeply-Buried Oil Sands 1974 – Establishment of the Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA) The purpose: to get the private sector back working on the 90% of the oil sands too deeply buried to be mined A National Project launched by a $100 million seed fund, that grew to $1 billion (1970s dollars). Projects funded 50/50 by the private/public sector Cross-sectoral management board made investment decisions. New technology owned and licensed by the Alberta government

20 Presentation by Clement W. Bowman June, 200820 Energy Pathways Database

21 Presentation by Clement W. Bowman June, 200821 Three National Technology Projects Gasification of Fossil Fuels and Biomass – produces electricity, hydrogen, and CO 2 rich streams Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction – CO 2 capture, transportation, long-term storage and/or use Upgrades to Electrical Infrastructure – national grid, grid access/storage for renewables, enhanced distribution infrastructure

22 Presentation by Clement W. Bowman June, 200822 Integrating the Three National Projects 1. National Grid – Electrical Highway 2. Coal/Biomass Gasification 3. Greenhouse Gas Management Capture Transportation Storage Renewables Oil Sands Electricity Hydrogen CO2 Storage Use
