We often hear that the EU is leading the way on climate change, but California has already put in place a low-carbon fuel standard which assesses tar sands as high-carbon.

Once quality certification is obtained, producers' primary concern will be to obtain good quality prematerial (low carbon grade steels) and to ensure reliable and timely deliveries of finished tubes onto the Western European market.
