Abstract

This analysis presents a study on energy production from the Oil Sands. An optimization framework is used to determine both the most suitable energy production infrastructure from the Oil Sands together with the assisting utility producers frame under carbon emission reduction strategies to minimize the overall system energy cost. Four different case studies were analyzed: base case, emission government regulations, stringent emission reduction, and inflation effects. It was found that reduction measures in the electricity sector alone do not contribute decisively to mitigate the carbon emissions; whereas a comprehensive carbon capture and storage system may reach substantial reduction levels.
