  2. One Year Later • Waste-to-Resource Community to Green Resources Community • Enabled through collaboration and collective thinking • 3 Phases of Waste-to-Resource have meshed – some aspects in phases have accelerated

  3. Waste-to-ResourceUpdate • Phase 1 Regulatory Approval – 10 T/d Solid Waste, 4000 L/d Waste Cooking Oil • Bio Diesel plant onsite at landfill • Gasifier/Generator - 80-90% of equipment required is sourced or procured by vendor • Green House - Awarded in Fall • Startup Spring 2013

  4. Waste-to-Resource Economics

  5. Waste-to-Resource Relativity April 2011 Bloomberg Article: • Waste Management Inc. landfilled 92 million tons of trash in 2011 • This tonnage was worth $12.3 billion to landfill it. • This same tonnage is worth $40 billion if converted to energy • “We don’t think the future, long term, is going to be continuing to put everything in the landfill. Its going to be recovering more value from this material. The customers will demand it, the struggle for resources will demand it, and quite honestly, economically, it’s the thing we should be doing.” Carl Rush, Sr. VP, Waste Management Inc.

  6. New Eco-industrial Park • ~120 ha of land • Capture value in region • Educational Center • Initiating Development Plan

  7. Old Landfill Closure • First Aerobic Landfill in Canada • Grant from CCEMC/Minister of Environment • Largest Landfill Carbon Offset Program in The World • Potentially largest carbon offset program in Canada to-date • Once complete, mine and process in Waste-to-Resource and re-develop land (~ 50 ha)

  13. Conceptual Northern Utility Corridor • New water source is required for Fort McKay • Low grade waste heat supply to District Energy • Potable water/Non-Potable water/ sewage services for industry • Non-bitumen / Non-synthetic oil commodities movement

  14. Conceptual SouthernUtility Corridor • Joint design underway on south wastewater treatment plant and southern SAGD project to utilize a portion of treated effluent produced via pipeline. • Balance of treated effluent available from both North and South WWTPs for reuse and purple water systems • AB ENV Water Sourcing Net Environmental Effects analysis – best solution with integration

  15. Municipal Corporation • Regional Council approved formation of Municipal Corporation on June 26th. • Application for approval submitted to Province • Enables responsiveness and flexibility to oilsands’ and commercial devlopers’ project needs and timelines for integration
