Fuel Forward

As November settles in, the Great Lakes shipping season enters the home stretch. Huge Lakers carry grain, iron ore, salt and more across the Lakes – moving the materials that help keep Canadian farms, businesses and construction projects supplied. Behind every journey is the fuel that keeps these vessels moving - and the people who produce and deliver it.

Innovation is opening new markets for Canadian canola producers.  Canadian canola is used to produce biofuels that help power our communities and support a lower-carbon energy future. It’s Canadian innovation at work: taking what we grow here at home and finding new ways to turn it into the energy that keeps Canada moving.

Factories, farms, families - none of them stop needing power - and Canada's energy sector never stops delivering it. Take it from Stephen Velthuizen, Corporate Relations Manager at @Shell in Alberta. Canada's energy workers keep things moving 24/7/365.

From the food on the shelves at your local grocer to firing up the BBQ with family and friends, Canadian fuels are behind so many moments we rarely stop to think about - helping power everyday life and keeping us moving.​ @NWRSturgeon

Every day at a refinery is different but for Erik Sullivan at Tidewater Renewables, the goal stays the same: more lower-carbon fuel made right here in Canada. This week in Engine13 we speak with Erik about how co-processing can help lower carbon intensity while keeping domestic production strong, among other topics.

Energy security starts with greater control over the systems that keep our country moving.​ ​Subscribe to Engine13 and learn why strengthening Canada’s domestic transportation fuels sector matters: fuelforward.ca

Responsibility is a vital part of running a refinery. We spoke with Alesha Leboeuf, Environmental and Regulatory Advisor at @ImperialOil's Strathcona Refinery, about what it means to be a responsible operator.

Fuels power our agriculture system, keeping tractors running and trucks moving to get food from farms to tables across this country. ​ And that connection goes both ways. Crops like Canadian canola, corn, and wheat are important feedstock for biofuels helping produce lower-carbon fuels for the future. ​ It’s a made-in-Canada partnership — two essential sectors working together to keep our country moving, growing and strong.

How do refineries really work? With a lot of collaboration across unique disciplines. 🤝 Take it from Kayvan Banaie, a Project Engineer at NWR’s Sturgeon Refinery. ​ ​Working with people across departments with different specialties is an exciting challenge and an essential part of keeping the refinery working 24/7/365.
