  • 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 announced it 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.

    “This is a great example of how Suncor deploys capital in projects that are economically robust, sustainability minded and technologically progressive,” said Mark Little, president and chief executive officer. “This project generates economic value for Suncor shareholders and provides baseload, low-carbon power equivalent to displacing 550,000 cars from the road, approximately 15% of vehicles currently in the province of Alberta.”
