CALGARY, Alberta, July 9 (UPI) -- U.S. company GE and Canadian oil producer Suncor Energy announced plans to find ways to reduce emissions and lower water use from oil sands production.
Suncor said it signed two agreements with GE that open the door to as much as $18 million in environmental investments.
