Upgrading bitumen for use in our energy system can be costly and energy intensive, generating emissions and other environmental impacts. Processes and technology that can partially upgrade bitumen while it is traveling to refineries may reduce both production costs and the environmental impact of the hydrocarbon energy system.
Researchers on Heavy Oil - Partial Upgrading
Over seven years, Future Energy Systems plans to support more than 100 researchers and up to 1,000 Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP), including graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. To learn more about our researchers, visit the Researcher Directory.
