EM Powered Heat for Heavy Oil - Decarbonizing Heavy Oil and Oil Sands
The heart of Acceleware's RF XL, the Clean Tech Inverter (CTI), makes it possible to decarbonize the production of heavy oil and oil sands via electrification; allowing for the process to become as clean as the power source used to drive the technology. RF XL itself uses radio frequency (RF) energy to heat and mobilize heavy oil and bitumen. It can virtually eliminate Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions when powered by renewables or by small modular reactors (SMR), as well as eliminate the requirement for fresh water use in thermal heavy oil production, reducing surface facility requirements and thereby also dramatically reducing costs. In addition to RF XL, Acceleware is working to develop potential EM Powered Heat applications that can replace other combustion-dependent processes, including but not limited to grain and bulk solids drying, commercial heating, and turquoise hydrogen production. RF XL is currently being commercially piloted in Marwayne, Alberta.
