Converting Oil Shale to Gasoline via Alberta Taciuk Processor Results in Full Fuel Cycle GHG Emissions 1.5-1.75 Larger Than From Conventionally Produced Gasoline

Green Car Congress

Converting oil shale to gasoline via the Alberta Taciuk Processor (ATP)—an above-ground shale retort—results in fuel-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of ~130-150 g CO 2 equivalent/MJ of gasoline produced, according to a new analysis by Dr. Adam Brandt at Stanford University. These emissions are 1.5 Credit: ACS. Click to enlarge.

The Future of Fission Reactors May Be Small

Cars That Think

Why, after all, would an ambitious nuclear reactor designer want to go small? If it’s a success, China reportedly plans to use its design to power untold number of construction projects and desalination plants.
