Avec la hausse de la valeur des crédits de pollution, les entreprises trouveront de plus en plus coûteuses leurs activités polluantes.

In the case of blended bitumen, marketability appears to be somewhat less certain than that for synthetic crude oil, and it is conceivable that temporary supply imbalances could occur. The Board believes, however, that in these situations there would be a widening of the light/heavy crude oil price differential, which would provide the incentive to install upgrading facilities and, in turn, eliminate the supply imbalances. 1, record 8, English, - supply%20imbalance

One of the most profitable and competitive sectors of the paper industry is the "soft" tissue market. Here, the customer pays for bulk and softness, and the producer finds himself in the happy position of being able to charge a higher price for a product which actually contains a lower weight of fiber. Naturally, there has been considerable incentive to develop proprietary low-density manufacturing techniques which will give a competitive edge; and those companies engaged in soft tissue production are reluctant to divulge their methodology. 1, record 12, English, - low%2Ddensity%20forming
