Global sustainability requires a complete array of Clean Energy Technologies to be deployed across all industrial sectors to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico highlights the urgent need for effective energy, water and environmental technologies which form Clean Energy Technologies (CET). As global demand increases, the demand for CET and environmentally responsible energy production has doubled. However, conservative forecasts predict a seven decade transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In the interim, the critical demand for CET worldwide presents a significant opportunity for Canada to become a global leader and demonstrate produced water treatment technologies from de-oiling to desalination for environmentally sustainable conventional oil and unconventional (oil sands) energy production. Energy and water are intricately linked: it takes water to produce most sources of energy, and it takes energy to extract, treat and transport water. Alberta's energy production uses roughly three barrels of water per barrel of oil produced and the annual demand for fresh water is projected to increase from 5 M m3/year (2004) to 13 M m3/year (2015) in Alberta . Concomitant increases in water consumption and low winter flows due to climate change will put significant additional pressure on water availability in the Athabasca River basin. Water challenges are a global issue which requires local technological solutions and operational practices to enhance water use efficiency and quality while delivering energy. SAIT's Applied Research Program in Produced-Water Treatment and Waste Water Remediation responds to the need for local technological solutions. This research will generate multiple benefits and tangible outcomes for industry and society such as reduced fresh-water usage and overall efficiency to reduce the energy footprint.

全球可持续发展需要一整套清洁能源技术， 工业部门迎接21世纪世纪的挑战。英国石油公司在墨西哥湾的大规模石油泄漏 强调迫切需要有效的能源，水和环境技术，形成清洁 能源技术（CET）。随着全球需求的增加，对CET和环境的需求 负责任的能源生产翻了一番。然而，保守的预测预测， 从化石燃料到可再生能源。在此期间，全世界对CET的关键需求呈现出一种 加拿大成为全球领导者并展示采出水处理的重要机会 为环境上可持续的传统石油和非传统（油砂）能源生产提供从脱盐到脱盐的技术。 能源和水有着错综复杂的联系：生产大多数能源需要水，提取、处理和运输水也需要能源。阿尔伯塔的能源生产每桶石油使用大约三桶水，并且在阿尔伯塔，对淡水的年需求预计将从5 M m3/年（2004年）增加到13 M m3/年（2015年）。气候变化导致的用水量增加和冬季流量减少将对阿萨巴斯卡河流域的水资源供应造成额外的压力。水资源挑战是一个全球性问题，需要当地的技术解决方案和运营做法，以提高用水效率和质量，同时提供能源。 SAIT在生产水处理和废水修复方面的应用研究计划响应了当地技术解决方案的需求。这项研究将为工业和社会带来多重利益和切实成果，例如减少淡水使用和整体效率，以减少能源足迹。
