“The answer is blowin’ in the wind”
October 27, 2009
Could the final words of Bob Dylan’s 1963 classic Blowin’ in the Wind, become a mantra for Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt? It certainly came across that way in her opening remarks to the 25th annual Canadian Wind Energy Association conference and trade show in September. By year’s end, wind generation capacity in Canada will top 3,000 megawatts and Raitt evidently sees this burgeoning industry as a key to enhanced energy security as it boosts the economy and creates jobs. It’s the output of nearly 100 commercial wind farms already in place. Contrast that with the mid-1980s ago when there were none.
“I can’t think of very many industries that can show that kind of growth,” Raitt said. “Wind will be . . . lighting up hundreds-of-thousands of Canadian homes and doing it without generating a single kilogram of greenhouse gas emissions. . . . It’s good to be able to look back on how far the wind industry has come in this country — and it’s also a good time to look at where it’s going.”
This year will see British Columbia and Newfoundland & Labrador commemorating the opening of their first commercial wind farms and the minister said Canada’s fundamental vastness presents tremendous opportunities, not only for wind power but also other forms of energy.
“We have the opportunity to become a living laboratory for the rest of the world,” she said. “Every province has access to wind power and this is integral for us moving forward. . . . Wind energy continues to be a priority for the Government of Canada. It has to be; we’ve made a commitment to having 90 per cent of Canada’s electricity come from clean and renewable sources by 2020.”
Out of its $1.5-billion ecoENERGY for Renewable Power program, Ottawa has invested in 75 “and counting” projects. Two-thirds are for wind power. Raitt said this is being complemented by research and development at the Wind Energy Institute of Canada and other initiatives, including accelerated capital cost allowances for machinery and equipment, elimination of tariffs on imports of machinery and equipment, improved credit facilities, and the Green Infrastructure and Clean Energy funds.
The application deadline for another federal initiative, the $200 million Fund for Renewable & Clean Energy System Demonstrations, closed in mid-September and the government now is assessing 175 proposals for projects with a total installed value of some $3.5 billion. Eighteen are for both wind and electrical storage projects and Raitt said the government hopes to begin financing discussions with a short list of project backers shortly.
“The sooner we can get these projects running, putting shovels in the grounds and using this new technology, the closer we are to reducing our emissions and achieving our 2020 targets.”
Laying it on thick
October 26, 2009
So, you’ve heard about oil sands in a documentary or on the news. You’ve heard, perhaps, in conversation or classroom debates, about its impact on the environment. Perhaps you even know some people who have packed their bags and headed to Alberta to get their own nugget of black gold and share in the wealth. But this Texas, er…Alberta tea doesn’t come up from the ground like a bubbling crude as Jed observed in the famous classic, Beverly Hillbillies.
Instead, it comes in the form of bitumen… gummy, gooey and thicker than molasses in January. To make matters worse, it’s mixed right in with the sand, presenting a grueling challenge for industry. How to separate such an unruly brew from the ground is for another story, but this is a tale about the origins of bitumen’s thick skin and how we toil to tame this intractable taffy of the turf.
Thicker than peanut butter, but not quite as tasty, Athabasca bitumen has a viscosity, or resistance to flow, of more than 500,000 centipoise (cP) at room temperature.
Now, with every story you have some sort of conflict, a rising action, a climax and a conclusion. The conflict here is bitumen’s high viscosity, and the implications it has on this resource’s means of production and impact on the environment.
That’s a heavy story man
A penetrating glimpse inside the molecular structure of bitumen reveals the cause behind its thickness. Are you ready for it? Bitumen is thick because… (insert drum roll)… it is heavy.
You may have heard the term “heavy oil” before, but few people know what this actually means. What makes heavy oil heavy? What makes oil sands heavier than conventional oil or methane?
Essentially, when we say a certain oil is heavy, what we’re really saying is that it is carbon heavy, meaning that type of oil has longer and more complex carbon chains than other types of oil. Light crude oil, such as conventional Alberta crude, contains many small, hydrogen-rich hydrocarbon molecules whereas heavy crude oil contains many large carbon-rich hydrocarbon molecules.
As you can see, the antagonist in this particular story is the carbon molecules.
So, in order to bring bitumen to a viscosity that refiners can actually work with, you have to upgrade the bitumen, which essentially means, getting rid of some of the carbon, resulting in a product that is less thick. In fact, when you consider the extra process bitumen has to go through in order to get rid of all that heavy carbon, you can see where the environmental conflict lies. Additional energy is required to separate bitumen from the sands and upgrade it. As well, heavy crude oil requires more refining to transform it into transportation fuels. And of course, more energy equals more greenhouse gas emissions if the energy being used to power the extraction, upgrading and refining processes is natural gas.
So the rising action in this story has everything to do with the rising demand for cheap energy around the world, the important role of oil sands in meeting that demand and the unrelenting challenge of reducing greenhouse gases. The plot starts to thicken as the bitumen thins because at each stage of carbon removal, the viscosity of the bitumen becomes less and less, making it easier to work with. But the overall energy used becomes more and more. It’s really annoying.
Technology is starting to change all that. Scientists are exploring ways to reduce the energy used in oil sands extraction and upgrading. One approach in the pipes is adding bacteria to bitumen deep underground, converting it into methane, which is easier and less energy intensive to extract. Another in-situ approach of extraction is Toe to Heel Air Injection (THAI) which involves injecting air into the ground, causing combustion. As the bitumen heats it becomes less viscous allowing it to flow towards the well. As it flows it leaves some of the heavy carbon behind in a process called “coking”. Coking usually happens above ground as part of the upgrading process but doing it underground results in a lighter product that can be transported through pipelines, is partially upgraded and results in fewer lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
Of course, another approach is to use renewable energy to power any or all of these processes. The challenge here is that renewable energy is not as cheap and bountiful. But as society and governments evolve towards increased sustainability, that could soon change.
Although renewables are rapidly being embraced across the globe, it is important to recognize the degree to which we depend on oil, even as we make the transition to greener alternatives. Sure we can heat our homes with solar and earth energy, and derive electricity from nuclear, wind and hydro, but there remains a conundrum surrounding our cars. Solar, nuclear, wind and hydro-powered cars are still a long way off. Sure we have hybrids, but for the most part they still run on gasoline and electric cars have very limited ranges and low speeds. As well, a lot of electricity used to power them is coal or natural gas fired thermal electricity.
Now, every good story must have at least a few literary devices, and the most delicious of them is irony. We labour to make bitumen and the resulting crude products less viscous right from the extraction phase (especially with in-situ extracting techniques) through to the upgrading and then refining phase. The most premium petroleum products are the highly refined and less viscous transportation fuels such as jet fuel and gasoline. Ironically, lubricating oil, which is a highly refined product, needs to be more viscous so as not to ruin the engine. So after all this work to make it less viscous, additives are put in to make sure it retains its viscosity.
Because the oil sands and its continually evolving technologies are a work in progress, this story is too. There are yet so many variables that could affect the outcome, such as the direction of the economy, incentive to invest in research and development and carbon pricing laws. While the U.S. is introducing a tough stance on carbon emissions through its Green Energy and Security Act, Canada is waiting to see what happens before coming up with anything definitive.
But the rest of the world isn’t holding its breath. Already the wheels are in motion to come up with a global carbon pricing scheme in an effort to reduce world greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure an even playing field for renewable energy to compete in the global energy market. It may be safe to predict that the outcome of the upcoming conference of world leaders in Copenhagen this December could serve as a climax for this story.
Most importantly, however, is the conclusion and that rests in the hands of energy consumers as well. Mitigating climate change is a heavy topic and while many remain thick headed towards a potentially warming planet, many more are working towards a positive conclusion for the planet – one where energy, the economy, the environment and its inhabitants live happily ever after.

Effective public consultation is key to wind industry
October 26, 2009
The message was clear to delegates at the Canadian Wind Energy Association’s (CanWEA) annual conference: consultation is critically important to the development of Canada’s wind industry, and those who do it incorrectly are bound to have considerable problems.
Indeed, a panel on “Building Community Support” featured a municipal councillor from rural Ontario who began her presentation by saying “It’s nothing personal, but I don’t like your industry.”
Councillor Monica Alyea of Prince Edward County went on to criticize the wind industry for what she believed was a series of serious faults. These included taking rural communities for granted and creating unwelcome tension between neighbours over siting turbines.
Councillor Alyea – who made a point of saying she is not running in the next municipal election – was particularly critical of how proponents often bring a series of dated, hard-copy, template brochures to town halls instead of taking the time to use technology to actually show what wind farms look and sound like. “Show us a YouTube video or two of an actual turbine turning in an actual field,” she said, “and not a bunch of glossy brochures. It would be worth your while.”
The counterpoint to Councillor Alyea came from a counterpart, Mayor Lynn Acre of Bayham, Ontario. Speaking to a full plenary session, Mayor Acre spoke of the valuable roles the wind industry plays in her region – including giving local tourism a boost – and how wind proponents have gone out of their way to involve community members in a series of public consultations.
Other conference speakers discussed the challenges of good consultation and how all parties have to commit themselves to be involved and transparent. The overall consensus was a take-off on the old political adage on voting. That is, consult early and often.
The next CanWEA conference will be held in Montreal from October 31 to November 3, 2010.
International Day of Climate Action
October 24, 2009
350.org has organized this day of action to rase awareness of climate change issues. The organization’s name comes from the idea that 350 parts per million is the number some scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Organizers hope that the thousands of events today will change the negotiating environment in Copenhagen and help governments realize that the climate treaty they agree on in December pays attention to science and citizens around the world.
Organizers have confirmed that there are more than 4,000 events registered in about 170 countries. Canada was second to the United States in terms of the number of events planned, including 350 Group Photo Brownvale, Salt Spring Island, 2100 Salt Spring Island, Yasodhara Ashram, 10 Divine Light Invocations Hornby Island, B.C., 1-hour Awareness Walk through the Downtown Streets Summerside, PEI, 10 min de luz de Velas-10 min on candle lights Montreal, 10in10Diet.com Sharbot Lake, 2009 Cape Breton Eco Expo Sydney, 350 – take the bus and ride with us Peace River, 350 @ 3:50 with 350 St. Catharines, 350 Action Walk North Bay, 350 acts of green Mississauga, 350 Art Collage by Markham Arts Council Markham, 350 Awareness in Burlington!
