Joint statement from an industry–environmental organization partnership that outlines the key elements for an effective Canadian cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emissions.

This paper provides an overview the Pembina Institute's position on carbon capture and storage (CCS) as of February 2009.

This exclusive media background document summarizes poll results concerning Albertans' opinions on the management of greenhouse gas emissions in the oil sands. These results are part of a more extensive poll covering Albertans' opinions on the environmental and economic impact of the oil sands development that will be released May 8 and May 14 2007.

The oil sands are projected to contribute up to 47% of the projected business-as-usual growth in Canada's total emissions between 2003 and 2010, making them the single largest contributor to GHG pollution growth. This report concludes that oil sands companies could achieve "carbon neutral" (no net GHG pollution) production for as little as a few dollars per barrel of oil.

The oil sands are projected to contribute up to 47% of the projected business-as-usual growth in Canada's total emissions between 2003 and 2010, making them the single largest contributor to GHG pollution growth. This fact sheet highlights the key findings of Pembina's full report entitled Carbon Neutral by 2020: A Leadership Opportunity in Canada's Oil Sands and provides a sample cost analysis showing how oil sands companies could achieve "carbon neutral" (no net GHG pollution) production for as little as a few dollars per barrel of oil.

The manner in which Alberta's oil sands are developed poses a major risk to our global climate system due its release of greenhouse gas pollution. Also at risk is our international reputation. Marlo Raynolds, presenting on behalf of the Pembina Institute at the Oil Sands Multi-stakeholder session in Edmonton, explains how oil sands operations can become carbon neutral by 2020.

This fact sheet provides an overview of key facts and figures from The Pembina Institute's book Oil Sands Fever: The Environmental Implications of Canada's Oil Sands Rush.

The Pembina Institute commissioned Probe Research Inc. to conduct a study to gauge public attitudes towards the environmental and economic impacts of oil sands development in Alberta and to identify the roles and responsibilities of the public and private sectors involved in oil sands development.

The Pembina Institute commissioned Probe Research Inc., a professional research and survey organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to conduct a study among Alberta adults. The purpose of the study was to gauge public attitudes towards the environmental and economic impacts of oil sands development in Alberta and to ascertain Albertans' understanding and expectations regarding the roles and responsibilities of the public and private sectors involved in oil sands development.

Canada needs to urgently reduce its greenhouse gas emissions if it is to meet its near-term reduction targets as set by the Kyoto Protocol. Against this backdrop of urgent efforts, 28 new GHG intensive projects in Alberta's oil sands are expected to come on stream in the next 10 years. The stark contradiction between the need for deep reductions and rapid oil sands development demands urgent attention.

Oil Sands Fever: The Environmental Implications of Canada's Oil Sands takes a comprehensive look at the intense development of oil sands occurring in northern Alberta's boreal forest and the environmental consequences. The book concludes with recommendations on how to improve the environmental management of the oil sands.

Shot on location in Fort McMurray and Calgary, Alberta, Pembina's production "Oil Sands Fever" presents Oil Sands Fever author Dan Woynillowicz, Gord Lambert (VP of Sustainable Development for Suncor Energy) and Melody Lepine (Director of Industry Relations for the Mikisew Cree First Nation).

Big, bigger and biggest describes the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. This slide show summarizes the environmental implications of Alberta's oil sands developments as described in the Pembina Institute's new book Oil Sands Fever: the Environmental Implications of Canada's Oil Sands Rush.
