Newer SAGD
plants such as Connacher Oil and
Gas's Great Divide have managed to nearly eliminate fresh water use — they use non-potable water from aquifers and recycle it — and reduce GHG emissions by about 20 % compared to the industry average through more efficient burning of natural gas, cogeneration of electricity and reduced heat loss on the steam's journey undergrou

On March 12, the New York State Assembly amended the state budget bill addressing capital projects (A9504b) «for services and expenses related to the design and construction on Sheridan Avenue in Albany of a
cogeneration plant and microgrid, to operate on renewable energy, natural
gas and / or fuel oil.»
Natural
gas is the preferred fuel for autoproducers, but there have been natural
gas shortages in the late 1990s that have forced some of these small
cogeneration power
plants to turn to alternative fuels — not a preferred solution, since most alternative fuels are more expensive than natural
gas (on a heat content basis, including deliver costs to the
plant site) and some alternate fuels (such as heavy oils) have a high sulfur content.
If we were to use natural
gas to produce electricity with
cogeneration of heat we could displace that same amount of electricity from coal fired
plants, but only a third as much energy would be allocated for that electricity.
