Clean & Green

Hydrocarbons
Krzysztof (Kris) Palka
Our Vision:
!
We want the same
thing you want.
!
An energy industry
that’s better for the
planet, and for people,
and for profit.
The green origin
of hydrocarbons
!
If you consider that forces of nature
created them, they are green. Hydrocarbons

were created by a combination of:
!
• the sun’s energy
• CO2
• photosynthesis
• phytoplankton and plants
• zooplankton and animals
• anoxic conditions
• pressure and temperature
• and a lot of time
Easy access to

abundant energy
!
Humanity has flourished with
tremendous help from fossil fuels:
coal, oil and natural gas.
How did

hydrocarbons 

become dirty?
!
Because we burn them as fuel.
Hydrocarbon combustion generates
both GHG emissions and pollution.
When we had fewer people and fewer 

activities, this was not significant.
!
But now, we are overwhelming 

nature’s ability to deal with the 

results of hydrocarbon combustion.
!
and… we burn 

them to create 

more hydrocarbons
!
It’s a vicious cycle.
Hydrocarbons are an inefficient
and non-renewable source of fuel
!
!
less than

20% of its

energy

potential

is used.
The future can

be optimistic
!
Humanity will make better
choices… eventually.
!
We can wait until the crisis sets in…
or we can be proactive...the choice is

in our hands.
Imagine…
clean & green

hydrocarbons
!
Clean and green hydrocarbons 

used as a source material for
recyclable and reusable
products, not as a fuel.
!
Produced without GHG
emissions, pollution,
harmful plasticizers
or fresh water.
!
“It’s better to help create new order
than be a victim of it”
Wallace Pratt
Where do we start?
Let’s take a look at an oil battery treater
!
!
25% better for Planet, People and Profit
!
!
70% better for Planet, People and Profit
!
!
Change starts with

each of us
!
We don’t need to wait for change to happen
on a grand scale to see a difference.
Change starts with you, at home. Today.
!
• Reduce, reuse and recycle
• Walk, bike, public transportation
• Use high efficiency natural 

gas furnace and appliances
• Install solar panels on 

the roof of your house
• Use LED lights
• Drive an electric car
!
Let's focus our efforts on a much better
future for our industry, for our province,

and for our country.
!
Do it for you, for me,

and for our children
!
Let’s do it together!
