The National Centre for Upgrading Technology
is a world leader in heavy oil and bitumen upgrading
research. Formed in 1995 as a partnership
between the Canadian federal and Alberta provincial
government. NCUT is committed to providing science
and technology research that will improve energy
efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
in the heavy oil upgrading and refining industries.
Our research is focused on producing, from bitumen-derived
crudes, fuel products that will meet the demands
and expectations of Canadians into the 21st Century
and beyond.
In addition to our world-class research staff,
NCUT has positioned itself witnin a network of
superior researchers and scientists at such institutions
as the Universities of Alberta, Calgary, and New
Brunswick, the Canadian

| Light Source in Saskatoon, and the
North American Catalysis Society. (For NCUT’s
connection to different professional organizations see
related links.)
NCUT uses its own expertise, analytical
testing and pilot plant facilities to work with
oil companies, engineering firms, and technology licensors
to solve problems encountered in their processing units
and to help them meet GHG and emissions targets. We
also act as a conduit between scientists, different
research institutions and the private sector to provide
the best possible S&T solutions for individual clients.
NCUT has on-going research
programs established to help the upgrading and refining
industries attain the goals of improved energy efficiency
and reduced emissions. Doing
business with us is easy, and this site offers you
an overview of our capabilities, current research, pilot
plants and analytical facilities.
