- •
Core samples were used to estimate fugitive CH4 emissions from oil sands mining.
- •
Residual methane released when samples heated to relevant process temperatures.
- •
New emission factors imply 2015 mined Alberta oil sands fugitive CH4 ≳ 1.4–2.1 MtCO2e.
- •
Routine drilling operations could be leveraged to improve emissions estimates.
