Biofuels--snake oil for the twenty-first century | 2008-12-01 | Most Americans are painfully aware that our present consumption of petroleum is unsustainable. The United States has less than 5% of the world's population, but consumes 24.4% of the world's petroleum production. Only 8.5% of the world's petroleum production comes from American wells, which necessit... | |

Fine particle emissions from residual fuel oil combustion: Characterization and mechanisms of formation | 2000 | fine particle emissions; residual fuel oil combustion; airborne fine particulate matter (PM); particulate characteristics of PM | The characteristics of particulate matter (PM) emitted from residual fuel oil combustion in two types of combustion equipment were compared. A small commercial 732 kW rated fire-tube boiler yielded a weakly bimodal particulate size distribution (PSD) with over 99% of the mass contained in a broad co... |

Water for commercial oil shale development in Utah: Allocating scarce resources and the search for new sources of supply | 2010 | commercial oil shale development; allocating resources; oil shale; bitumen | BACKGROUND A. What Is Oil Shale and Why Do We Care? Oil shale is a sedimentary rock containing solid bituminous materials. When oil shale is heated, petroleum-like liquids and gasses are released. The process of heating shale and capturing resulting liquids and gasses is called retorting and can occ... |

Federal control of carbon capture and storage | 2011-09 | carbon capture; carbon storage; coal; carbon sequestration | The United States has economically recoverable coal reserves of about 261 billion tons, which is in excess of a 250-year supply based on 2009 consumption rates. However, in the near future, the use of coal may be legally restricted because of concerns over the effects of its combustion on atmospheri... |
