Abacukuzi ba peteroli ya Alberta bakoze rekodi ya miliyoni 1.6 bbl / kumunsi ya bitumen mu 2022, bikubye kabiri ugereranyije na 2009. Ubwiyongere bw'umusaruro bwagereranije 10% ku mwaka mu myaka 20 ishize, nubwo mu myaka mike ishize bwagiye buhindagurika kubera kubura umwanya w'umuyoboro, amabwiriza yo kugabanya hamwe n'icyorezo cya COVID-19.
Ariko ejo hazaza hateganijwe iki gucukura umucanga wa peteroli?Bitandukanye nibikoresho biriho, ibirombe bishya bisaba kwemererwa na federasiyo, birashobora kuba inzira ndende kandi idashidikanywaho.Hamwe na capitike ya karubone yegereje hamwe na net-zero ibyifuzo bitarenze 2050, ntibishoboka ko imishinga mishya izashyikirizwa icyemezo cya federasiyo vuba aha.
Ariko, ntabwo byose byazimiye, kuko hariho ibikorwa byinshi byo kwagura no gukuramo imishinga isanzwe ifite ibyemezo.
UMUSHINGA WO GUSIMBURANA
Ibirombe byinshi biriho bigomba kubura mu myaka mike iri imbere.Biteganijwe ko Mine ya Horizon na Mildred Lake y'Amajyaruguru byombi bitangira guhagarika ibikorwa bidatinze, kandi bombi bemeje gahunda yo gusimbuza ibirombe bimaze gukorwa.
Horizon igomba kwimura ibikorwa by'ubucukuzi bw'amabuye y'agaciro muri Horizon y'Amajyepfo, ahahoze hitwa Joslyn y'Amajyaruguru, naho ikiyaga cya Mildred kikazimukira mu kiyaga cya Mildred West West (MLX-W) mu myaka mike iri imbere.Byombi ni ukwimura ibikoresho byubucukuzi, kandi ntibizashyiramo inganda nshya zitunganya.

UMUSHINGA WA DEBOTTLENECKING
Horizon ifite imishinga mito mito kubitabo, harimo kongera ibyiringiro byoroheje, ikigo gishya cyo kuvura imbuto, hamwe n’uruganda rukuramo ibyobo (IPEP).Mugihe kuri ubu nta gihe ntarengwa cyagenwe cyo kurangiza, imishinga itatu ifite ubushobozi bwo kongera umusaruro hafi 100.000 bbl / kumunsi.
Imperial ya Kearl Mine nayo ifite umwanya wo gukura mubipimo byemewe byemewe.Isosiyete ivuga ko ishakisha kongera umusaruro ku 10%, cyangwa 25.000 bbl / ku munsi, mu 2030. Mu gihe cya vuba, Kearl irashaka kongera ingufu za bitumen binyuze mu kongerera ubushobozi bwa flotation.
KUGARAGAZA GREENFIELD
Hano haribintu bitatu binini bimaze kwemerwa na federasiyo.
Aurora y'Amajyepfo ya Syncrude yemejwe nkigice cyumushinga wa Aurora mu myaka ya za 90.Aurora yabanje kwemererwa kuri 430.000 bbl / kumunsi mubice bine - bibiri muri Aurora y'Amajyaruguru, na bibiri muri Aurora y'Amajyepfo.Aurora Amajyaruguru ifite ubushobozi bwa 225.000 bbl / kumunsi, hasigara "umwanya wo kugenzura" andi 200.000 bbl / kumunsi kuri Aurora y'Amajyepfo.Ariko, ibi bisaba kwaguka kwinshi kwizamura rya Mildred Lake, bidashoboka ko bibaho.Isosiyete ivuga ko Aurora y'Amajyepfo izatezwa imbere MLX imaze kubura, biteganijwe ko izaba nko mu 2040.
Albian Sands nayo ifite ibyiciro bibiri bitaratera imbere byo kwaguka kuri Jackpine.Mine ya Jackpine yemerewe gari ya moshi ebyiri, ariko Gari ya moshi 1 yonyine yararangiye.Uwahoze akora muri Shell Canada na we yabonye ibyemezo ku ruganda rutanga umusaruro wa 100.000 bbl / ku munsi mu birombe bya Jackpine Expansion Mine, biri mu majyaruguru y’ubukode bwa Jackpine.
Nyamara, ibimina byombi bya Albian Sands bifite ubushobozi bwashyizweho bwa 340.000 bbl / kumunsi, bihuye neza na Scotford Upgrader.Kwagura ibirombe ibyo aribyo byose byasaba kwaguka kuzamura, cyangwa ibikorwa remezo kugirango bitume isoko ryisoko.
KONGERAHO BYOSE
Ubushobozi bwa bitumen bwashyizweho mubakora mu birombe ni miliyoni 1.8 bbl / kumunsi, 200.000 bbl / kumunsi hejuru yumusaruro ushize.Ngiyo imbuto zimanitse hasi, zerekana icyumba cyo gutera imbere zimaze kwemezwa kandi mu mwanya.
Hamwe na gahunda yo kwagura isanzwe mubikorwa, umusaruro wa bitumen wacukuwe ushobora kuba hafi ya miliyoni 1.9 bbl / kumunsi bitarenze 2030.
Umutungo Kamere wo muri Kanada ufite andi 200.000 bbl / kumunsi y "icyumba cyihariye" muri Albian, ushobora kubona izuba ryinshi cyane mumuhanda.Nyamara, ibyo bisaba ibiciro bya peteroli ugereranije, kandi birusheho gusobanuka kumabwiriza ya karubone.
