Polytechnique 2007 – slide 13 Oil Shales Sedimentary rock containing organic material called kerogen (in place: 2900 Gboe, incl Gboe in the USA) Used for: –Power generation by combustion (heat, steam) –Feedstock for refineries and chemical products (extraction of shale oil) Oil potential: 100 kg/t of shales Already a long history

Polytechnique 2007 – slide 14 Oil Shale Upgrading Options R&D programs in the USA (Shell) and Brasil (Petrobras) - Mining and surface retorting vs in-situ conversion Estonia power generation: 2.7 GW (combustion) - Other processes: SC extraction, RF and microwave heating - Groundwater contamination and emissions - Management of residues and tailings Rand Corp. (2005)

Polytechnique 2007 – slide 15 Sequestration of CO 2 Issues to consider Where to capture - chimney stack - process Possibility of concentration Separation technology Storage Costs - impact on price of energy - processing of liquid waste Capture Compression Transportation Storage
