Alberta’s Industrial Heartland
• 582 square Kilometers of industrial land
• Western Canadian Hub for oil and gas logistics: pipeline, rail, roadway
• Value-Added products bound for global markets: petrochemicals, fuel, fertilizer, +++
• Synergies allow for waste product of one company to be feedstock for another
#ABHeartland
Alberta’s Industrial Heartland
• $30 billion in investments
• 40+ Companies
• 6,700 full time employees
• All trades employed
• $1.5 billion in local spending
#ABHeartland
Alberta’s Value-Added Economic Engine
Net Benefits by the Numbers

Alberta at a Cross Roads #ABHeartland
• Uncertainty in oil and gas
• Rising unemployment
• Adapting to new government directions
• Climate Change pressures
• Market access for energy
• Diversification competition
1. Better return for our commodities as they are developed further down the value chain.
2. Continued development of value added products opens markets and creates jobs.
3. Petrochemicals are in demand.
4. AIH is a proven as a centre for oil and gas production.
#ABHeartlandNew and Emerging Opportunities
The Petrochemical Industry
• Oil and gas is the base of the petrochemical industry
• Global sales expected to exceed$791 billion by 2018
• Strong fundamentals at home support further development of Alberta’s petrochemical sector

News from the USA #ABHeartland
The American Chemistry Council counts 266 petrochemical projects planned across the country
through 2023 that will cost $164 billion to build. Driven by a surging domestic supply of low-cost natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs), the U.S. petrochemical industry has been revitalized.
