Natural Resources committee  Did you ask about the market share?

Natural Resources committee  As we discussed, we designed that chemistry, specifically for Suncor Energy. They brought us in to do R and D work, and we developed that chemistry specifically for their oil sands operations. Over the past 13 years, just looking at the oil sands specifically, we probably have a

Natural Resources committee  Do you want to speak about the cost?

Natural Resources committee  Yes, that's exactly the idea we'd like to propose. We would like to see SR and ED have an additional category specifically for clean technology that would offer even a marginal premium to producers, and also potentially to be engaged by adopters of technology as well. They could

Natural Resources committee  As far as Evergreen goes, no, we haven't had any negative experiences. We have done a fair bit of business in the North Dakota region. We do a lot of work in the Bakken, and there's a lot of connectivity right now. There has been for a number of years, between Alberta and North D

Natural Resources committee  From our standpoint, we use a lot of internal criteria, which we've gathered over the years, to define what we call “green chemical technology”.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, and just to follow up, we certainly agree with Michael's assessment as well. In our opinion we don't see great help with the federal government doing a deep dive into the regulatory issues around clean technology, but our approach is more at the periphery. We feel that if

Natural Resources committee  Or less risk, anyway....

Natural Resources committee  Yes. Certainly one of the issues we've found is that we often see companies that, for various reasons, are not willing to adopt the clean technology that we have, even though it's commercially viable. There's concern about the viability of the technology as it's developed, and I

Natural Resources committee  We'll conclude with our suggestions. First, we'd like to present the need for efforts aimed at reducing ambiguity in defining and qualifying clean technology. We address this first as we believe the other policy instrument suggestions we have are predicated on the necessity for e

Natural Resources committee  Thank you very much for listening to us this afternoon.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you. Good afternoon, honourable members of Parliament. My name is Nathan Neufeld, and this is my colleague Jonathan Dueck. We are from Evergreen Solutions, a smaller, mid-size green-chemistry innovation company located in southern Alberta in the lovely riding of Foothills
