Located in the northeast Greater Edmonton region, Alberta’s Industrial Heartland is one of the world’s most attractive locations for chemical, petrochemical, oil, and gas investment. It is Canada’s largest hydrocarbon processing region with operating investments of over $30 billion. Approximately $15 billion in additional investment is proposed for the next decade.

The region’s 40+ companies, several being world scale, provide fuels, fertilizers, power, petrochemicals and more to provincial and global consumers. The region presently accounts for 43% of Canada’s basic chemical manufacturing.

Refining opportunities in Alberta are not limited to oil, gas and petrochemicals. Alberta also has an emerging industrial biochemical sector using biomass as an alternative feedstock to petrochemicals in the production of energy products and industrial chemicals.

Industrial development is strong supported by municipal and provincial governments. Alberta has a democratic and business friendly political system in addition to a favourable tax structure.
