PTAC Petroleum Technology Alliance & CRIN Clean Resource Innovation Network
2017
Executive Summary
The purpose of the roadmap analysis is to explain and help generate a common understanding of the innovation and research efforts underway in regards to clean tech and energy in Canada. The scope of the work is to gather all existing roadmaps and strategic plans relevant to the Canadian oil and gas industry and conduct a meta-analysis to articulate industry challenges, identify gaps and duplication, and provide an inventory of potential technology solutions.
The roadmap analysis is in the context of the Clean Resources Innovation Network (CRIN), which is composed of oil and gas industry companies (oil sands, tight oil, shale gas, and conventional production), research and learning institutions, government agencies, and other organizations who support innovation in the oil and gas industry, with a common goal of guiding clean tech and energy innovation in Canada. There are currently many innovation and research activities underway that fall into this description of clean tech and energy innovation. To help provide a common understanding of what work is underway and where, the CRIN Steering Committee struck a Road Mapping Subgroup, tasked with creating an inventory of these various initiatives and efforts, and finding a way to display how they interact and overlap.
