18/1/2013· And, this new research also shows that tar sands will cause even more climate pollution than we previously thought due to the impacts of the high carbon byproduct petroleum coke. The Peina Institute’s analysis , “The climate impliions of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline”, shows that pipelines are a key determinant of tar sands expansion.
29/3/2014· Described by Oil Change International as the "coal hiding in the tar sands" because it can be co-burned in coal-fired power plants, until now petcoke storage was the …
13/2/2013· OCI’s research shows that Keystone XL will produce enough petcoke to fuel five U.S. coal plants. The emissions from this petcoke have not yet been included in climate-impact analysis of the pipeline or the tar sands industry and OCI shows that it will raise total
The study says that the petcoke produced from oil moving through the 1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline would be equivalent to the coal burned at five conventional power plants. The second study, from the Canadian environmental research group Peina, says that construction of the pipeline would bring rapid expansion of tar sands mining and greatly increase overall greenhouse gas emissions."
EXCLUSIF / L’institut de recherche le plus important et prestigieux d''Allemagne s’est retiré d’un projet commun de 25 millions de dollars canadiens (18,9 millions d’euros) financé par le gouvernement du Canada. Ce projet vise à trouver des solutions durables à la pollution des sables bitumineux. L’institut craint pour sa réputation en matière d’environnement.

1/1/2019· The petroleum coke gasifiion integrated gasifiion coined cycle power plant (petcoke-IGCC) is a promising avenue for disposal of the ever-growing amount of stockpiled petroleum coke. In this work, we present a novel techno-economic and life cycle assessment of the process operated with carbon capture and sequestration.
A by-product of oil refining and similar hydrocarbon-cracking operations, petcoke can be used much like coal. For the Marathon Petroleum Corporation, which operates a large refinery near Delray, petcoke is an attractive resale item.
