How are we working to reduce the intensity of oil sands greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2030, compared to 2016 levels?

One of the major contributors to our efforts was the recent start up of the sixth and final boiler flue gas unit at Kearl. The units capture waste heat from a boiler’s combustion exhaust to preheat process water, resulting in less steam usage and lower GHG emissions.
