Executive Summary
Air emissions from the petroleum industry are constantly in the public eye. New, complex and tougher emissions regulations are rolling out provincially, federally and internationally. Oil and gas production companies are challenged with measuring, reporting, controlling and reducing emissions to meet goals of resource conservation, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance. The challenge is to find suitable processes and technologies to produce commercial products while conserving natural resources, minimizing the environmental footprint, and managing the cost of regulatory compliance.
The Resource Emissions Management Technology Action Plan was launched to answer this challenge. REMTAP documented the issues and identified opportunities for energy efficiency,
emissions measurement and reduction, best practices and management. Innovation, collaboration and the application of technology are key to transform these challenges into opportunities. REMTAP was facilitated by PTAC and governed by a Steering Committee composed of funding participants. The project unfolded over approximately 15 months, but the implementation of the action plan will continue over a number of years as technology projects are jointly funded, executed and delivered.
