Canadian Context
6
A Strategic Investment for Canada
• A critical component of Canada’s GHG reduction strategy
• A critical component of Canada’s energy strategy; for both coal and oil
• A ‘Made in Canada’ solution that supports a “Clean Energy” approach

CCS Vision for Western Canada
9
Canada is a World Leader
Proven Experience • Cenovus EOR/Storage project in Weyburn – operating since 2000
Financial Support for Large Scale Demonstration
• ~$3.5 billion for CCS through various funding programs to support commercial scale projects:
• 3 in Alberta in the 2015 time frame • 1 in Saskatchewan by 2014
• R&D funding across Canada for CCS technology development
Regulatory Support • Comprehensive CCS regulation developed through multi-stakeholder
approach – Alberta Regulatory Framework Assessment • Clean Energy Dialogue with the United States

Only Certain Industries Can Pursue CCS

CCS in the Oil Sands
12
Funding Gap
Provincial and Federal leadership is needed during the transition period
13
1. Ensure the initial projects move forward
2. Policy and incentives for the next wave of projects
3. Develop a strong EOR industry to help defray costs
4. Transition infrastructure towards an integrated CCS system
5. Put in place robust CCS regulations and policy
6. Advance necessary studies and research
7. Public engagement
CCS must be considered a long-term priority

Long-Term Vision of CCS Across Canada
18
Canada’s CO2 Reduction Target
Absolute reduction of 17% below 2005 emissions
19
Canada’s 2005 Emissions
747 million tonnes of CO2
25.3% above 1990 total of 596Mt
32.7% above the Kyoto target
Emissions associated with oil and gas exports to US were 73 Mt
20
Reaching Our Target
17% equals 127 million tonnes of CO2
(and that’s with no growth!)
21
CCS Economics are Challenging
Costs of CCS system components are variable and site specific. Key drivers are:
• Pipeline – Distance of transport and pipeline size
• Capture – Facility specifics and chosen capture technology
• EOR – Productivity of EOR field
• Compliance – Strictness of government regulations
• Tax Savings – Individual corporate finances and economic loss associated with respective CCS operation
22
The Challenge: Cost of Capture
23
CCS Challenges in the Oil Sands
CCS Economics • Capture for oil sands are relatively high cost
Demonstration of Technology • Imperative that proposed projects move forward so technological
improvement can occur • Incentives for a new wave of projects need to be encouraged
Public Engagement
• Needs to continue to be a priority to ensure public is confident with the science and technology
24
CCS Opportunities in the Oil Sands
CCS is technically feasible • CCS is an accumulation of known technologies • Research underway worldwide
CCS may be driven by factors other than carbon prices • Low carbon fuel standards at market • Shareholder activism and/or corporate value structure • Environment Canada regulation in 2011/12 timeframe
CCS is a risk mitigation technology for companies
CCS is the biggest tool in the toolbox
• Large volume potential • Industry and governments understand this
