Transporting oil by pipelines is more than twice as safe as using rail, and marine tankers are safer still with a markedly improved safety record over the past 40 years, according to a new study released by the Fraser Institute, a Canadian policy think-tank. accidents per million barrels of oil shipped by rail over the same period.

Railways and pipelines are equally safe means of transporting crude oil, according to a report comparing safety data for each mode. Prior to 2012, rail moved less than 6,000 tank cars of fuel oil and crude oil per year. Beginning in 2012, however, the amount of crude oil transported by rail began to grow.

Oil shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock containing kerogen—a solid organic precursor to oil and gas—from which hydrocarbon gases and liquids (HCs) can be obtained through the application of heat.

Comparison of brake thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption at rated power (ICOMIA Mode 5), hydrogen vs. gasoline engines. This is due to raw, externally premixed fresh charge comprising air, fuel and lube oil being short-circuited into the exhaust during the scavenging process. —Faiz and Gautam (2004).
