COSIA’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Environmental Priority Area (EPA) aims to reduce energy use and associated GHG emissions through innovative technologies for oil sands in situ (in place) extraction and mining operations.

COSIA’s Land Environmental Priority Area (EPA) is focused on reducing the footprint intensity and impact of oil sands mining and in situ (in place) operations on the land and wildlife of northern Alberta.

COSIA’s Water Environment Priority Area (EPA) aims to reduce water use and increase water recycling rates at oil sands mining and in situ operations to become world leaders in water management, producing Canadian energy with no adverse impact on water.

COSIA’s Tailings Environmental Priority Area (EPA) is focused on improving the management of oil sands tailings. Tailings are the sand, silt, clay and water found naturally in oil sands that remain following the mining and bitumen extraction process.

COSIA’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Environmental Priority Area (EPA) aims to reduce energy use and associated GHG emissions through innovative technologies for oil sands in situ (in place) extraction and mining operations.

The Land Environmental Priority Area has identified the below COSIA Challenges to help mobilize the minds and resources of external stakeholders and global solutions providers and allow it to achieve its Aspiration to ‘be world leaders in land management, restoring the land and preserving biodiversity of plants and animals’.

COSIA’s Water Environment Priority Area (EPA) aims to reduce water use and increase water recycling rates at oil sands mining and in situ operations to become world leaders in water management, producing Canadian energy with no adverse impact on water.

The Tailings Environmental Priority Area has identified the below COSIA Challenges to help mobilize the minds and resources of external stakeholders and global solutions providers and allow it to achieve its Aspiration to ‘transform tailings from waste into a resource that speeds land and water reclamation’.
