This study quantifies GHG emissions from petrochemical processes and evaluates supply costs of products from various processing pathways and petrochemical hubs. The hubs assessed are located in Alberta, Ontario, Texas (US), and South Korea. In assessing supply costs and emission profiles, CERI examined 5 feedstock types, including ethane, propane, ethane/propane mix, LPG, and naphtha.
CERI 2019 Petrochemical Conference - Field of Dreams: We're Building it, They're Here

Kananaskis Village, Alberta
The Canadian petrochemical sector sits perched on the edge of opportunity as it weighs risks associated with the significant commitment required to make large project dreams a reality. The industry also teeters on the edge of transformational change due to availability of feedstocks, the shifting market, technologically disruptive changes to existing and future processes and products, and ever-more stringent social and environmental expectations. Will access to significant feedstock from the liquids rich Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin alone be enough to provide investors with the confidence they need in a competitive international market? Location, location, location. How are geographical advantages weighed when making FID? Location clearly provides an edge over the competition, but does location make or break the feasibility of a project? How will local consumption of products and the transition from linear to circular economies impact the sector?
CERI is pleased to offer a discounted registration rate for students enrolled in full-time studies. To qualify, you must provide valid proof of enrollment upon registering for the conference. Please email cwilliams@ceri.ca with your documentation. Space is limited to 30 registrants.

NAIT - Economic and Emissions Impacts of Fuel Decarbonization

Fuel decarbonization, also referred to as a low-carbon fuel standard, is a policy or regulation to reduce carbon-intensity (CI) usually in transportation fuels as compared to conventional petroleum fuels, such as gasoline and diesel. Traditionally, the main objective of fuel decarbonization is to decrease carbon dioxide emissions associated with vehicles powered by various types of internal combustion engines while considering the entire life cycle ("well to wheels") carbon footprint of transportation. This project evaluates the potential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction of fuel decarbonization scenarios and their overall economic cost. The analysis explores two scenarios to reduce the carbon intensity of gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels against the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario. The study assesses how these three fuel types affect the industrial (including agriculture), transportation and building sectors.

CERI WEBINAR SERIES: Market Review of Natural Gas Liquids in Western Canada
March 28, 2019
This study conducts qualitative and quantitative analysis to understand how different market factors could foster or constrain Western Canadian Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) market development. An in-depth analysis of the Western Canadian NGLs market strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) at the industry level, as well as for each commodity, was conducted. A large contributing part of the study were interviews with businesses, governments, regulatory agencies and associations which shared their views regarding the further development of the market.

Recent IMO regs set a global limit for sulphur in fuel oil used to power ships at 0.5% (by mass) from the current 3.5% starting in Jan 2020. The regs restrict emissions from ships plying international waters which could significantly change the crude oil landscape at regional & global levels. The change will propagate through the value chain; from the marine industry seeking replacement fuels to refiners producing bunker fuel & upstream oil producers who produce crudes that generate high sulphur residues used in bunkering.
Canada is a major producer of high sulphur heavy crude oil which is refined primarily in CAN & US where there are sufficient capacities of complex refineries to handle this type of crude. Canadian (CAN) bitumen contributes very little to bunkering as it is consumed by complex refining in CAN & US. CAN crude will have to compete for US refining space on netback refining value with other crudes that currently contribute to High Sulphur Fuel Oil (HSFO) supply.

This session will provide findings of two CERI studies. The first examines the next 20 years of Canada's conventional crude oil and natural gas industries, including production forecasts and supply costs. The study covers onshore and offshore conventional oil, including shale and tight oil activity, conventional natural gas, coalbed methane, tight and shale gas and the associated natural gas liquids (pentanes plus and condensate only), but does not include oil sands. The second study analyses and compares Canada's LNG projects in two jurisdictions (BC and NS) with counterparts in the US Gulf of Mexico (TX and LA) and Australia.

This study considers alternative pathways transforming the electricity grid in the four western provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The project built high resolution spatially and temporally explicit interconnected electric power systems of the four provinces. Using the model, the project assessed different pathways to achieve deeper emissions reductions, impacts on the system reliability, value of trade, and impacts on electricity rates. The project also provides insights into necessary attributes of technologies and system configurations that would facilitate the transition to cleaner electric power systems.

CERI Breakfast Overview - Canadian Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production and Supply Costs Outlook (2018-2038)
June 19, 2018
Canadian Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production and Supply Costs Outlook (2018-2038) This Breakfast Overview will present CERI’s annual long-term outlook for Canadian oil and gas production and supply in conjunction with an examination of production supply costs. The forecasts include conventional and unconventional crude oil and gas resources, such as conventional crude, bitumen, conventional gas, shale gas and offshore production in Canada. The results are drawn from two CERI studies: 12th edition of oil sands update which explores three oil sands development scenarios and CERI’s 2018-2038 production and supply forecast for Canada’s crude oil and natural gas sector.
