    RESPONSIBLEREFINING

    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.
