Opportunities

Invest in integration – Eco-industrial complex

Alberta’s Industrial Heartland region is an area that covers 300 square kilometres northeast of Edmonton. It is home to Canada’s largest concentration of petroleum refining, petrochemical, and chemical processors. This area represents a huge potential for investment. It can be used as a base for further expansion and integration which will produce competitively priced petrochemical products for global markets.

Eco-industrial integration with upgraders and petrochemical plants can generate substantial cost savings, and create greater efficiencies, new business opportunities, and higher valued products for sale to downstream markets.

Synergies exist in an integrated facility, allowing for waste streams to be used as feedstock for plants within the complex. This leads to greater environmental benefits, such as lower total emission levels and less water demand.
