The
Government of Alberta’s commitment to energy research is more important
today than ever before. Alberta’s conventional oil and gas supplies are
declining, and relying solely on current methods of production is not
an option. Research is needed to develop ways to recover the significant
amount of conventional oil that is left behind, as well as less energy
intensive methods to extract heavy oil and bitumen. Research is also necessary
to enable the energy sector to reduce the impact of greenhouse gases and
other emissions.
Over the years, government and industry have worked together to invest
in technology and research, and find innovative ways to extract and process
energy resources. In fact, all major technologies currently being used
by Alberta’s energy sector were developed as a direct result of government-industry
collaboration. And the government is committed to continuing to partner
with industry to pursue energy research opportunities and address the
challenges.
Through the Alberta Energy Research Institute, Alberta Innovation and
Science will work with other government departments, including Alberta
Economic Development, Alberta Energy, Alberta Environment and Alberta
Sustainable Resource Development, to achieve this goal.
