The Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA) was an Alberta crown corporation to promote the development and use of new technology for oil sands and heavy crude oil production, and enhanced recovery of conventional crude oil. It was funded by the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund. Its head office and information centre were located in Edmonton and a second office in Calgary, Canada.〔 〕 ==History== AOSTRA was formed in 1974 for promotion of the development of new technologies for oil sands and heavy-oil production.〔 〕〔 〕 In 1979 its mandate was expanded also to the conventional crude oil technologies.〔 In 1984, AOSTRA initiated the Underground Test Facility as an in-situ SAGD bitumen recovery facility.〔 In 1986, the Alberta Department of Energy took over AOSTRA's role in developing oil sands technology, and on 1 August 2000, AOSTRA was reorganized into the newly established Alberta Energy Research Institute, and rebranded again to the name of Alberta InnovatesEnergy and Environment Solutions with an expanded role to include other energy-related research areas such as wind, solar, fuel cells, clean coal and biomass.〔〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
