(CSRwire) February 9, 2007 -- Recent public opinion surveys show that Canadians are concerned about the state of the environment, air quality and their relationship to energy demand. The latest edition of the Imperial Oil Review, Imperial's award-winning magazine, talks to these issues in three ways: Imperial's CEO gives his perspective; scientists tell of far-reaching new oil sands research; and industry leaders reveal what is being done to clean the air.

Selected articles in this issue include:

"Fueling a Cleaner Future" -- Imperial's CEO Tim Hearn gives his perspective on how to address this generation's prevailing challenge: balancing the need for energy and a cleaner environment.

"Oil Sands' Green Team" -- Scientists at the Centre for Oil Sands Innovation have been told to rethink how to extract oil from Alberta's oil sands. Learn what the researchers are doing to find new ways to reduce costs and the environmental impact of future oil sands projects.

"Contributing to Cleaner Air" -- What Imperial Oil and others are doing to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.

The Imperial Oil Review will be delivered to readers starting February 9, 2007. The issue is now available online at www.imperialoil.ca.
