The Canadian oil sands are not alone as a higher GHG source of crude, IHS CERA points out.they are part of a group of higher carbon-intensity crudes consumed within the United States, including Venezuelan heavy crude oil; Nigerian crude oils; and crude oils from mature assets that require steam for enhanced oil recovery such as California heavy oil.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To restore balance we must protect the oxygen-producing biomass of Earth and reduce the amount of carbon emissions. But use of petroleum will continue.
