Confronting Climate Change: Using the energy in oil shale without releasing carbon dioxide in a greenhouse world
New technology that combines production of electricity with capture of carbon dioxide could make billions of barrels of oil shale \u2014 now regarded as off-limits because of the huge amounts of carbon dioxide released in its production \u2014 available as an energy source. That\u2019s the conclusion of a report on electricity production with in situ carbon capture EPICC in ACS\u2019 journal Energy and Fuels.
