Clean Resource Innovation Network
Decoupling GHG Emissions from Production and End Use
of Hydrocarbons

What is Happening? Hydrocarbon industry is transforming from a resource driven sector to a
technology driven sector.
Low commodity prices and high cost.
Canada’s largest energy customer has become our biggest competitor.
A growing number of energy consumers are willing to pay a premium for
clean energy.
Technological advances resulting in less demand for oil; hence downward
pressure on oil price.
Tech Advancements = Less Demand for Oil
Recent Announcements:
Last year, Dutch Parliament voted to end all gas and diesel car sales
by 2025.
In June, India announced that it would end sales of gas and diesel
cars by 2030.
In June, Norway agreed to end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2025.
In July, France announced that it would end sales of gas and diesel
cars by 2040.
In July, Britain announced that it would end sales of gas and diesel
cars by 2040.
Last month, it was approved that German cities could ban diesel
cars from their streets.

Opportunities in a Low Carbon Economy
Advancing to a clean, low carbon economy offers Canada
significant business, economic, and social opportunities.
The world trusts Canada.
We have the largest hydrocarbon deposits in the world.
Excellent track record for innovation.
Who is CRIN?
The Clean Resource Industry Network (CRIN) is an
industry-led network (including SMEs and technology
solution providers) that leverages Canada’s strengths
in large-scale heavy industrial collaboration.
Vision
The vision of CRIN is to contribute to a future in which:
Canada is a global leader in producing clean hydrocarbon
energy from source to end use.
Focus Areas
Environmental performance to improve water and air
quality, and reduce GHG and land disturbance.
End-user collaboration to reduce carbon intensive
processes.
Digital technologies.
Mining/extraction methods.
Innovation Challenges
Great basic research which fails to advance post-publication
Focus on technology push rather than market pull
Lack of funding and access to sites for field demonstration of
technologies
Slow market uptake
Lack of interest from venture capitals to invest in clean technology
Slow advancement of technology movement from concept to
commercialization
Lack of infrastructure within small producers to adopt new
technologies

How Does CRIN Work?
Ex) Methane Network
The Methane Network was created to unite and align R&D
priorities for all stakeholders working on methane related
initiatives
