19The Council of Canadian Academies is a highly respected not-for-profit organization that conducts expert evidence reviews in support of public policy development in Canada. It includes three member academies: the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences. 20In terms of flow, the production of 1 barrel of synthetic crude oil requires approximately 2.5 barrels of water and 2 tonnes of oil sands ore, yielding around 3.3 barrels of raw tailings. While much of the water used is recycled from existing tailings ponds, the long-run equilibrium sees approximately 2 barrels of mature fine tailings produced for every barrel of oil (Hrudey et al. 2010).
