RESPONSIBLE REFINING

Pacic Future Energy is a proposed $10 Billion


renery developed on the coast of BC.
THE GREENEST REFINERY
BUILT IN THE WORLD
The facility will:
Create long-term economic opportunity for British Columbia by adding
value to Canadian resources locally, rather than overseas.
Create thousands of jobs and economic stability at homes
Protect the BC Coast by avoiding the shipment of raw bitumen from the
Northern Alberta Oil Sands by tanker o the BC Coast to Asia.
6000 3000
When developed, Pacic Future Energy will be a near net
zero carbon emission facility and the cleanest renery
in the world.
A CLEAN REFINERY
Powered by Clean Energy Many reneries
are powered on-site, using dirty fuel oil. But
we can do better. A combination of natural gas
and renewable sources will be used to reduce
renery emissions by 40%.
Capturing all remaining carbon World-class
carbon capture technology allows a further
52% reduction in emissions.
Using biogas To get to 0% emissions, the
remaining energy used to power the renery
should be from biogas gas made from
agricultural and other natural products.

The plan:
Raw bitumen is extracted from Canadas oil sands and is primarily
transported for export via a pipeline. If a pipeline through BC was
approved without a renery, it would put the coast at risk, sending
tens of thousands of tankers carrying heavy bitumen through our
cherished coastline.
Dierence between a bitumen and diesel spill:
Bitumen, a raw product from the oil sands, is thick and heavy. In a spill,
the bitumen immediately sinks to the ocean oor and stays there.
Pacic Future Energy renery would turn this bitumen into rened
products like diesel and gasoline. In the case of a spill, these products
oat on top of water and evaporate.
Avoiding any possibility of a bitumen spill:
We want to build the greenest renery in the world, right here in BC.
This is a unique opportunity to turn Albertas raw bitumen into high value
rened products for the fastest growing oil markets in the world, but
it wont be done at any cost to our coast or the broader environment.
PROTECTING OUR COAST
A STRONGER CANADA
When we export our energy, we have no control over
how it is processed, and jobs are created elsewhere.
When we rene our energy and export value-added
products, we create good jobs. But we also take
responsibility for ensuring that Canadas energy
resources are rened according to high Canadian
environmental and labour standards.
