Our safety and regulatory reports and analysis automatically collect the most up-to-date numbers from our data services.
Refinery, using reverse osmosis to remove impurities and recycling the water for use in the facility.
Employed hybrid supply vessels to support operations offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.
At our Sunrise Energy Project, we completed the Husky-patented diluent reduction pilot.
We believe the technology could reduce the amount of diluent required, increasing effective pipeline capacity and the quality and quantity of recovered bitumen.
We are investing in enhanced cyber security measures, recognizing data must be protected and that information technology is evolving rapidly.

Our operations generate greenhouse gases and other air emissions.
We recognize these emissions can affect local air quality and contribute to climate change.
Our emissions are generated by combustion equipment, venting to atmosphere, the flaring of waste gases, and fugitive emissions.
Air emissions management programs collect the data needed to meet regulatory requirements, manage risk and explore opportunities to economically improve emissions performance and minimize the impact on our neighbours.

The risks and opportunities inherent to a lower global emissions pathway are built into our Enterprise Risk Management process.
Husky believes there is a significant role for government to provide incentives and direct support in the development and commercialization of technologies that reduce industry emissions.
Revenues generated through carbon policy and regulation should be made available to support industry research, including the development and deployment of innovative practices and technology that improve efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
Emission reduction regulations should apply a price on carbon and we support the development of a market for environmental attributes such as emissions offset credits.
Through both voluntary and mandatory reporting mechanisms, we demonstrate our management of ESG risks, including climate change.
We continuously engage with our investors and other stakeholders about their expectations related to climate change disclosure, to understand and address their priorities.
Husky follows the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for Scope estimation methodology, adjusted using IPIECA guidance where relevant.
Under new regulatory reporting requirements, more than 2019 Scope 1 emissions will be assured by a third party, to a reasonable level.

vessels supporting offshore operations in the Atlantic region, using ships with diesel-electric and hybrid diesel-electric power generation as part of the regional fleet.
The new power management systems on these vessels use fuel more efficiently, resulting in significantly lower fuel consumption and emissions than older power management systems.
We continue to monitor daily fuel use through Husky-developed database management, allowing us to optimize vessel operations and further reduce our impact on the environment.
Our Scope 1 GHG emissions intensity in 2019 was 37.44 tonnes of CO2e/mboe.
Scope electricity and steam, decreased 6% in 2019, or more than 100,000 tonnes, primarily due to the need for less electricity.
the Tucker Thermal Project will use both emission performance credits generated in previous years and emission offset credits to reduce total compliance costs.
These credits were earned by reducing Tucker’s GHG emissions below regulatory requirements.
assess opportunities to use renewable energy where it makes economic and operational sense.
We currently operate two ethanol plants, in Minnedosa, Manitoba and Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.
Carbon Capture and Storage At the Lloydminster ethanol plant, we capture up to carbon dioxide (CO2) to aid in enhanced oil recovery, which involves CO2 being injected into reservoirs to increase oil production.
The use of this technology allows us to produce some of the lowest carbon intensity ethanol in Canada.
We continue to evaluate additional carbon capture technologies, including at our Pikes Peak South thermal project where we have been testing Svante technology that captures CO steam generator.
We started in in 2019 commissioned a 30 tonne-per-day system.
We believe these technologies have the potential to reduce carbon capture costs and reduce the carbon intensity of bitumen production.
Options to reduce GHG emissions from our upstream and downstream operations are compiled and evaluated using a Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC).
The MACC catalogues the size of emissions reduction possible and return on investment for various options.
employs aerospace technology to combust methane at our CHOPS operations, instead of venting to atmosphere.
Trial results from a pilot in the vendor and will be applied to a second pilot site.
This project is partially funded by Emissions Reduction Alberta.

The MACC also helps different areas of the Company share information about emissions reduction options.
The annually renewed carbon management plan helps us engage with our joint venture partner on options to improve emissions performance.

These regulations came into effect on January provide new methodologies on how to report fuel, flare and vent volumes, which will result in a change in our reported venting emissions for 2020.
Initiatives to reduce methane emissions include the conversion of pneumatic devices, gas conservation and incineration technology.
To further enhance our ability to manage and reduce methane emissions, we are gathering equipment data from our upstream operations in Western Canada.

The 2018 is due to the shut in of the SeaRose FPSO for part of the year and operations at the Superior Refinery remaining suspended.
Emissions Management Program (FEMP) for upstream and midstream facilities, and the Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program for downstream facilities.
Fugitive emissions, including methane and VOCs, are gas and vapour leaks from valves, piping connections, pumps and compressor seals, and other piping system components which occur as part of the normal operation of a facility or plant.
These programs detect and ensure timely repair of fugitive emissions from equipment.
FEMP and the LDAR program improve safety through early detection and repair of emission sources, reducing exposure to potentially hazardous gases, reducing GHG emissions and VOCs, improving overall air quality, increasing operational efficiency and conserving marketable gas.
Several techniques are used to detect leaking components, including specialized infrared cameras that provide a view of normally inaccessible locations such as tank seals and overhead piping from a distance, organic vapour analyzers to detect airborne hydrocarbons, and ultrasonic leak detection.
Vapour analyzers and ultrasonic measurements can be used to quantify equipment leaks.
A third-party database is used to track all survey results and implement corrective actions.
Practice for Fugitive Emissions, conducting surveys quarterly at all large gathering and processing facilities and at least once a year at others.
