Pembina has quantified a number of metrics of oilsands production on a per-barrel basis, including land disturbance, air emissions, water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and tailings production.
This provides a comprehensive assessment of current and potential future impacts based on approved projects as well as growth projections.
