  • Suncor Energy To Invest $1.4 Billion In Low-Carbon Power Cogeneration At Its Oil Sands Base Plant

    All financial figures are in Canadian dollars  

    • Delivers superior returns and a significant contributor to the company’s goal of growing incremental free funds flow by $2 billion by 2023
    • Suncor’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with steam production at Base Plant will be reduced by approximately 25%
    • GHG emissions in the province of Alberta will be reduced by approximately 2.5 megatonnes per year

    Suncor is replacing its coke-fired boilers with two cogeneration units at its Oil Sands Base Plant. The cogeneration units will provide reliable steam generation required for Suncor’s extraction and upgrading operations and generate 800 megawatts (MW) of power. The power will be transmitted to Alberta’s grid, providing reliable, baseload, low-carbon power, equivalent to approximately 8% of Alberta’s current electricity demand. This project will increase demand for clean natural gas from Western Canada.

  • Construction Connectivity: The Best Is Yet To Come

    Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) may have helped Volvo Group reach a major milestone with 1 million connected assets, but it is already asking ‘what’s next?’ Catrin Nilsson, Manager, Connected Solutions Platform at Volvo CE, explains why this is a pivotal time in the company’s connectivity journey.

    WITH SO MANY CONNECTED CONSTRUCTION MACHINES – VOLVO CE HAS 150,000 AT THE LAST COUNT – DOES THIS MEAN CONNECTED SOLUTIONS ARE NOW JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE MACHINE?

    Connectivity is a true enabler. It’s become such an essential feature that if you are not connected, you simply cannot perform to the high levels required of a modern job site. Machine data can now provide customers with all the help they need to boost fuel efficiency, uptime and productivity. Advanced prognostics even allows us to analyze trends to the point where we know not only why a component might break down but also predict when it might happen. The number of machines equipped with machine control system applications such as Load Assist, Haul Assist, DigAssist…. is growing every day. On top of that we provide the customer with fleet services related to uptime, such as CareTrack and Active Care.
