"Carbon capture and recycle: the new frontier in Canadian synfuel expertise"

"Carbon capture and recycle: the new frontier in Canadian synfuel expertise"

 “Canada is the world leader in synthetic fuel production. It is also a leading civilian nuclear state. Steve Aplin argues that the two fields are symbiotic, and that nuclear fission could provide the decisive energetic leverage for ultra-low-carbon hydrocarbon fuels that are chemically identical to the petroleum-based fuels we use today.”

Oil Giants Clean Up Oil Sands w/ Carbon Capture

Chris Helman, Forbes
Shell, Chevron and Marathon Oil announced today that they will build a carbon capture and sequestration mechanism into their 225,000 barrels per day Athabasca Oil Sands Project. The goal, when the system is completed in 2015, will be to capture 1 million metric tons a year of carbon dioxide and inject it a mile underground. . .http://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2012/09/05/shell-and-chevron-to-green-oil-sands-with-carbon-capture-project/
