Pacific Future Energyis a proposed $10 Billionrefinery developed on the coast of BC.
THEGREENESTREFINERYBUILT IN THE WORLD
The facility will:Create long-term economic opportunityfor British Columbia by addingvalue to Canadian resources locally, rather than overseas.
Create thousands of jobs and economic stability at homesProtect the BC Coastby avoiding the shipment of raw bitumen from theNorthern Alberta Oil Sands by tanker o the BC Coast to Asia.

When developed, Pacific Future Energy will be a near net
zero carbon emission facility and the cleanest refinery
in the world.
ACLEANREFINERY
Powered by Clean Energy Many refineriesare powered on-site, using dirty fuel oil. But
we can do better. A combination of natural gas
and renewable sources will be used to reducerefinery emissions by 40%.
Capturing all remaining carbon World-classcarbon capture technology allows a further
52% reduction in emissions.
Using biogas To get to 0% emissions, theremaining energy used to power the refineryshould be from biogas gas made from
agricultural and other natural products.

The plan:Raw bitumen is extracted from Canadas oil sands and is primarily
transported for export via a pipeline. If a pipeline through BC was
approved without a refinery, it would put the coast at risk, sending
tens of thousands of tankers carrying heavy bitumen through our
cherished coastline.
Dierence between a bitumen and diesel spill:Bitumen, a raw product from the oil sands, is thick and heavy. In a spill,
the bitumen immediately sinks to the ocean floor and stays there.
Pacific Future Energy refinery would turn this bitumen into refined
products like diesel and gasoline. In the case of a spill, these products
float on top of water and evaporate.
Avoiding any possibility of a bitumen spill:We want to build the greenest refinery in the world, right here in BC.This is a unique opportunity to turn Albertas raw bitumen into high value
refined products for the fastest growing oil markets in the world, but
it wont be done at any cost to our coast or the broader environment.
PROTECTINGOUR COAST
ASTRONGER CANADAWhen we export our energy, we have no control over
how it is processed, and jobs are created elsewhere.
When we refine our energy and export value-added
products, we create good jobs. But we also take
responsibility for ensuring that Canadas energy
resources are refined according to high Canadian
environmental and labour standards.
