Canada’s oil production is set to jump by about 10 per cent over the next year and become one of the largest sources of increased supply around the world.

The oilsands represent about 11 per cent of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions, while the rest of the oil industry and all of the natural gas industry account for 15 per cent.

Is this just for extracting the oil from oilsands?

I'm having a hard time interpreting the EXECSUM.

But it looks to me that the 11% and 15% are extraction only. Refinement looks to be only 2% of emissions (I think total, but maybe that's of energy)

That's crazy! Really puts in perspective how inefficient oilsands are from start to end.

I imagine a lot of the smart chemical engineers working in this domain could transfer their skills for developing drugs, improve batteries, biofuels, recycling, etc.
