Suncor Activity on Climate Change Management
Several thrusts to company effort – internal and external
Facility GHG reduction efforts focused on fuels and energy use
GHG Technology development often worked in consortiums (ICO2N, CCP, CMC, MIT, others)
CCS is a technology approach with a long time frame supported at Suncor through selective investment in research and piloting
Environmental Technology efforts moving to a collaboration model through COSIA
Cooperation: Working together in pursuit of individual goals Collaboration: Working jointly on a common goal

Potential GHG Improvement *Baseline → Projected
(*): Projected GHG reduction without consideration to overall plant heat integration
Identified energy efficiency improvements could provide up to 11% reduction in energy intensity, 10% reduction in GHG emissions
– On a 100,000 bpd facility this would represent an GHG reduction potential of 400 tonnes per day
– Impact of level of heat integration on overall reduction potential has to be evaluated for each facility

Summary of major findings
Significant potential for energy and GHG emissions improvements: – In Situ: ~6% (energy intensity) and ~8% (GHG intensity) – Mining/Extraction: ~11% (energy intensity) and ~10% (GHG intensity) – Upgrading: ~12% (energy intensity) and~ 7% (GHG intensity) – Further work to validate each opportunity before possible implementation
New technology offers potential for significant improvements in 10+ years: – In Situ: 20%, Mining/Extraction: 30%, Upgrading: 10% – CCS offers largest % reduction potential of any technology, but is uneconomic
Integration can have large impact on GHG emissions – Integrating in-situ/extraction with cogen reduces GHG intensity by up to 5%. – Integrating extraction/upgrading operations reduces extraction GHG intensity by
30-50%.
Energy efficiency metrics for benchmarking developed/validated with Suncor data
– Needs further input collaboration with industry, government
Lifecycle analysis (LCA) for oil sands-derived fuels updated in the study – Useful to compare relative impact of opportunities, optimize new facility design – Further work needed to reduce uncertainties

Vision and Objectives of Initiative
Vision:
“Develop a standardized, best practice Energy Management System as part of Operational Excellence. The EMS will systematically monitor and manage energy use and energy efficiency to achieve the company-wide 10% energy efficiency improvement goal by 2015, and continuous improvement beyond 2015.”
Drivers: Energy use is single largest variable cost, and directly linked to GHG
emissions
Objectives: Implement a sustainable, corporate-wide energy management system
for use at all Suncor operating facilities. Achieve stated goal of a 10% improvement in 2007 energy intensity by
2015, as committed to in 2009 Report on Sustainability
