Natural Gas in Asia
Post Carbon Fellow David Hughes recent report on the Northern Gateway Pipeline was the topic of this article in the Montreal Gazette.
From the article:
Enbridge says its pipeline will ship 525,000-barrels-per-day of diluted bitumen from the oilsands. This means that oilsands production will have to grow an additional 33 percentage points over and above current growth predictions just to meet the demands of this pipeline. In other words, as Enbridge claims, oilsands production will more than triple over the next 25 years.
Hughes argues that such unprecedented growth is impossible given the enormous social and environmental impacts already evident from a decade of oilsands expansion.
In the event that such a high rate of expansion is achieved, it will mean that Canada will export billions of barrels of it highest quality bitumen to Asia at a time when we are running out of conventional oil, he says in his report on the pipeline.
