Translation of "Full scale development model " (English → French) :

If you try to have full-scale development, you go against the other two corners of the triangle.

Alberta's oil reserves are sourced in the following ways: by strip mining shallow bitumen sands deposits, where 90% recovery of original oil-in-place is achieved; by in situ extraction of bitumen sands in deeper deposits using cyclic steam stimulation, now achieving recovery factors of 35% to 40%; by steam-assisted gravity drainage, typically achieving recovery factors exceeding 50%, and sometimes up to 70%; by in situ extraction of bitumen carbonate deposits, where two successful commercial-scale pilot projects in the Grosmont deposit are now both proceeding to full scale-development; and by multiple fracking of horizontal wells in ...[+++]tight oil shales containing a large oil resource little developed as yet, but classed as “proved undeveloped”, based on success exploiting analogous tight oil shales in the U.S. These recent developments and improvements in recovery factors indicate Alberta's proved oil reserves are 848 billion barrels.

At the same time, new technological, organisational, planning and business models need to be developed and tested at full scale according to the needs and means of cities and communities and their citizens.

Activities shall focus on research, development and full scale demonstration of innovative renewables, efficient, flexible and low carbon emission fossil power plants and carbon capture and storage, or CO re-use technologies, offering larger scale, lower cost, environmentally safe technologies with higher conversion efficiency and higher availability for different market and operating environments.

Question No. 140 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to development of the oil sands, its impacts on the environment and surrounding communities, and the economic effects of these impacts: (a) what, if any, steps has the government taken to establish air emission limits or air quality standards to achieve the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines to protect air quality and human health; (b) what, if any, steps has the government’s sector-by-sector approach taken to regulate carbon emissions in the oil sands to ensure the oil sands industry makes appropriate reductions in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to contribute to Canad ...[+++]a’s GHG emission reduction goal of 17% below the 2005 level; (c) what, if any, studies has the government undertaken to examine the effect of the oil sands expansion on (i) GHG emissions, (ii) Canada’s ability to meet its GHG emission reduction goals, (iii) Canada’s contribution to the goal of staying below a 2°C increase in global average surface temperature, relative to the pre-industrial level, as articulated at the G8 meeting in L’Aquila, Italy and at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations through the Copenhagen Accord in December 2009 and the Cancun Agreements in December 2010, (iv) the full suite of sustainability criteria, including environmental, economic and social sustainability, and (v) what were the results of any studies identified in (c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), and (c)(iv); (d) what, if any, studies has the government undertaken to examine (i) the scope of oil sands expansion if the oil sands sector is not required to deliver its proportional share of GHG reductions, (ii) the impacts such a decision would have on other sectors’ allowable GHG emissions, (iii) whether other sectors of the Canadian economy would have to do more than their proportional share to reduce emissions, (iv) what were the results of any studies identified in (d)(i), (d)(ii), and (d)(iii); (e) what, if any, studies ...

(a) draw up a green paper mapping out a full-scale development plan for Community island regions, embracing the range of Community policies - including transport and telecommunications, energy, the environment, and so on; and
