Question No. 419 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to the risk of corrosion and spills and other safety concerns arising from the transport of bitumen in pipelines, and to government action to address these risks: (a) how does diluted bitumen compare with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) in terms of (i) abrasive material content, (ii) acid concentration, (iii) sulphur content, (iv) viscosity; (b) to what extent is diluted bitumen more likely than WTI to cause corrosion or erosion in the pipelines through which they respectively flow; (c) what is the composition of diluted bitumen in Canada; (d) what are all of the volatile chemicals, persi ...[+++]stent organic pollutants or carcinogenic substances present in diluted bitumen in Canada; (e) in the process of diluting bitumen in Canada, what are the (i) natural gas condensates used, (ii) other petroleum products used; (f) what is the process by which diluted bitumen corrodes pipelines, with specific reference to (i) abrasion, (ii) friction, (iii) high pressure, (iv) settling of sediment, (v) velocity, (vi) sulphur-reducing bacteria, (vii) other significant factors; (g) for all proposed or existing National Energy Board (NEB)-regulated pipelines, what is (i) the amount of hard sediment passing through the pipeline annually, (ii) the average pressure, (iii) the average temperature; (h) what, if any, (i) research, (ii) action, (iii) investment has the government undertaken to determine whether diluted bitumen can flow safely through pipelines; (i) what, if any, (i) research, (ii) action, (iii) investment has the government undertaken to determine whether or not conventional crude should be distinguished from diluted bitumen when setting minimum standards for pipelines; (j) what, if any, (i) research, (ii) action, (iii) investment has the government undertaken to design safety and spill responses and spill liability management capabilities that are appropriate specifically to diluted bitumen; (k) how does a diluted bitumen sp ...

Soft, loose to compressed, natural, combustible sediment of vegetable origin with a high moisture content (up to 90 %), light to dark brown in colour.

The solid product obtained from carbonisation of coal, principally coking coal, at high temperature, it is low in moisture and volatile matter.

20. RECALLING that Community legislation already in force on the sulphur content in marine fuels covers only gas oils, RECOGNISES the need to update the current legislation on sulphur content in liquid fuels to include marine fuels with the aim of addressing EU acidification and air quality problems in a cost-effective way; WELCOMES the work underway with the European Parliament on the Commission proposal to amend Directive 1999/32 as regards the sulphur content of marine fuels and AGREES to expedite progress on this issue;

__________________ OTHER DECISIONS CONCERNING THE ENVIRONMENT - Sulphur content of certain liquid fuels Following the co-operation procedure with the European Parliament, the Council adopted the Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels.
