Global Warming, through the increase of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, substantially threatens humanity and the biodiversity of our planet. Alberta, due to its heavy reliance on fossil fuel as their power plant’s primary source of energy, and development of oil sands industry has the major role in Canada’s GHG increase. Alberta’s electricity grid, as a GHG intensive input for the most prevalent oil sands extraction process, the Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), can be improved through using the wind energy to lessen the provincial’s emission issue. Reviewing previous Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) studies and GHG emissions of different primary electricity sources demonstrates that through the use of wind power in SAGD operation, instead of fossil fuel power and Alberta electricity grid, the annual GHG emissions can be reduced considerably in addition to saving in energy, water and process’s cost. In terms of effective policy, the ‘Renewable Energy Certificates’ is able to support wind electricity market and also improve the provincial’s GHG emissions.
