Waste heat is used to generate electricity, making Enefit shale oil plants net producers of electricity. The US tops the list of the richest oil shale reserves, accounting for more than 60% globally, with the most concentrated deposits located in the Green River Formation that lies in western Colorado, eastern Utah and southern Wyoming.
The separation takes place at room temperature without the generation of waste process water. Significant quantities of oil sands (estimated to contain 32 billion barrels of oil) can also be found in Eastern Utah in the US. Oil sands represent approximately two-thirds of the world’s estimated oil reserves.

University of Colorado.
the technology reduced the moisture to a level that the waste coal can now be marketed commercially. Waste coal slurry went through the centrifuge at a rate of 30 gallons per minute and was dewatered to 13-19% moisture with coal recovery greater than 97%. Roe-Hoan Yoon. as part of a license agreement with Virginia Tech. Roe-Hoan Yoon.
George, Utah. presents experimental evidence that bacteria can undergo a type of cold fusion process and could be used to dispose of nuclear waste. The new calorimeter could boost the quality of research and open the field to scores of new scientists in university, government, and private labs, Miles suggests. Vladimir Vysotskii, Ph.D.,

However, training the robot in the real world can be inefficient, and dangerous, and result in a lot of food waste. Our approach involves using Reinforcement Learning (RL) to train a robot to compliantly manipulate a knife, by reducing the contact forces exerted by the food items and by the cutting board. Therefore, we proposed SliceIt!,
