Pembina & WWF Report Criticizes Oilsands

The results suggested that no one company excelled in all areas, and even the top performers had little to brag about -- suggesting there is great room for improvement. "Albion Sands was the best performer overall but there was no one company that was at the top of the class on each of those indicators," Woynillowicz told CTV's Canada AM. "For example, Albian Sands performed very well on greenhouse gas pollution but dismally on water use so we've got some companies that are doing well on some things but poorly on others." The collected data was adjusted to be comparable and only mining operations were considered in the study. The companies examined in the study were given the chance to comment on the data last June and again in September. Their answers were scored and the results were measured as a percentage of a possible maximum. Albian's Muskeg mine scored the highest overall with just 56 per cent, while Syncrude and Syneco ranked last, with only 18 per cent. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080110/oilsands_080110/20080110?hub=Canada
