The future of the oil sands will largely depend on revolutionary and transformative research and technology development. The oil held in these deposits could supply global energy demand for decades to come - while creating a superb economic opportunity for Canada - but at a potentially severe environmental cost, both locally and globally. Energy shortages are unadvisable and climate change unacceptable. Only proverbial "out-of-the-box thinking" may offer a solution. The research outlined in the Innovations Frontier application includes developing breakthrough technologies for integrated in situ recovery and catalytic upgrading of bitumen and heavy oil, particularly for Canada's oil sands while achieving lower costs and substantial reductions in GHG emissions and water utilization as compared to existing commercial practices. Applying this research and technology will solidify Canada as the world's oil sands leader.

油砂的未来将在很大程度上取决于革命性和变革性的研究和技术开发。这些矿藏中的石油可以满足未来几十年的全球能源需求，同时为加拿大创造绝佳的经济机会，但可能会在当地和全球造成严重的环境成本。能源短缺是不可取的，气候变化也是不可接受的。 只有众所周知的“开箱即用的思维”才能提供解决方案。创新前沿申请中概述的研究包括开发用于沥青和重油（特别是加拿大油砂）的综合原位回收和催化升级的突破性技术，同时与现有商业实践相比，实现更低的成本并大幅减少温室气体排放和水的利用。应用这项研究和技术将巩固加拿大作为世界油砂领导者的地位。
