What is Happening? Hydrocarbon industry is transforming from a resource driven sector to a
technology driven sector.
Low commodity prices and high cost.
Canada’s largest energy customer has become our biggest competitor.
A growing number of energy consumers are willing to pay a premium for
clean energy.
Technological advances resulting in less demand for oil; hence downward
pressure on oil price.

technologies
Slow market uptake
Lack of interest from venture capitals to invest in clean technology
Slow advancement of technology movement from concept to
commercialization
Lack of infrastructure within small producers to adopt new
technologies
