“In late 2017, the Sturgeon Refinery, in Redwater near Edmonton, Alberta produced its first diesel fuel from light crude oil. The refinery is
expected to begin full commercial operation in the summer of 2018. When full capacity is reached it will refine up to 79 000 barrels per day of
diluted bitumen into diesel and other refined products.Footnote 1,Footnote 2
While Canada’s refining capacity has been constant over the past 3 decades, the number of refineries has decreased from 28 to 17 including the
Sturgeon Refinery.
