Executive Summary

At present, the steam requirements of Alberta’s heavy oil industry and the Province’s electricity requirements are predominantly met by natural gas and coal, respectively. On November 22, 2015 the Government of Alberta announced its Climate Change Leadership Plan to 1) phase out all pollution created by burning coal and transition to more renewable energy and natural gas generation by 2030 and 2) limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil sands operations. Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMNRs) could potentially play a role in providing competitively-priced, environmentally-acceptable, and dependable/reliable heat and power for the oil sands and electricity sectors, in order to meet the goals of the Climate Change Leadership Plan.
