Publication Type: Briefing Notes, Summaries & Fact Sheets Topic Area: Energy Watch Northern LifebloodEmpowering Northern Leaders to Protect the Mackenzie River Basin from Oil Sands Risks
Published: Jul 21, 2010 By: Jennifer Grant, Jennifer Dagg, Nathan Lemphers, Simon Dyer This report, Northern Lifeblood — Empowering Northern Leaders to Protect the Mackenzie River Basin from the Risks of Oil Sands Development, investigates current and future threats to the Mackenzie River Basin, including the risks associated with the 170 square kilometres of toxic tailings lakes in the Athabasca watershed. The report also details opportunities for both northern leaders and the federal government to proactively protect northern waters. Publication Type: Reports, Backgrounders & Position Papers Topic Area: Energy Watch Letter: Request to deny amendments to Genesee 3 approvalStatement of Concern by Clean Energy Coalition to Alberta Utilities Commission
Published: Jul 6, 2010 By: Clean Energy Coalition The Clean Energy Coalition objects to the amendments that Capital Power is seeking to the AENV Approval and AUC Approval for its Genesee 3 power plant expansion. Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Energy Watch Underground Coal GasificationEnvironmental Risks and Benefits
Published: May 31, 2010 By: Jeremy Moorhouse, Marc Huot, Matthew McCulloch Pembina completed a preliminary review of the environmental risks and benefits of underground coal gasification (UCG). What is UCG? Instead of removing coal from the ground and transporting it to a power plant to be combusted and turned into electricity, UCG operators hope to convert the coal locked underground into a gas, known as synthesis gas or syngas, that can be extracted at the site without mining. The report concludes that a pilot project in Alberta seems like a necessary next step to understand how mitigate the risks of the technology and determine if the considerable benefits can be realized. The pilot would have be developed with the support of the local community. Publication Type: Reports, Backgrounders & Position Papers Topic Area: Energy Watch Mining vs. In SituWhat is the highest environmental impact oil?

Publication Type: Reports, Backgrounders & Position Papers Topic Area: Energy Watch Defending the NorthRespect the Process: Ensuring Implementation of the Joint Review Panel Recommendations for the Mackenzie Gas Project
Published: Mar 30, 2010 By: Jennifer Grant A giant natural gas basin lies beneath Canada's Northwest Territories. And the drive to recover that gas is on, with a proposal in the works to open up three major production fields and to build two pipelines to southern markets. It's called the Mackenzie Gas Project and it has the potential to open the doors for the biggest industrial development Canada's Arctic has ever seen.
