Jordan Increasing Efforts to Produce Oil from Oil Shale

Green Car Congress

MARCH 1, 2009

The Jordan Times. The government of Jordan has concluded negotiations with Shell for the in-situ production of oil from oil shale. Jordan has reserves of some 40 billion tonnes of oil shale in 21 locations near the Yarmouk River, Buweida, Beit Ras, Rweished, Karak, Madaba and Maan districts.

The analysis , which was commissioned by the National Resources Defense Council, and performed by Synapse Energy Economics, compared the prices EV owners paid for electricity with the costs for utilities to build power plants and to generate and distribute the energy. EV drivers are saving money too.

IEA: Estonia is pioneering technologies for more efficient and cleaner use of oil shale

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 3, 2014

The extracted rock can be used directly as a power plant resource or it can be processed to produce shale oil, which in turn can be refined into gasoline, diesel or jet fuels. Just over 85% of mined oil shale was used to produce electricity and heat generation; the rest was turned into shale oil, retort gas and other valuable chemicals.

DECEMBER 19, 2010

Shell’s recent agreement to develop oil shale in Jordan at a projected cost of $20 billion illustrates the potential cost of these projects. With technologically recoverable reserves estimated at about 800 billion barrels in the US—three times the size of Saudi Arabia’s proved reserves—oil shale offers vast development potential.

Use of Reformed Exhaust Gas Recirculation Gas as a Dual Fuel Can Significantly Reduce Both NOx and Smoke in a Diesel Engine at Low Loads

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 17, 2009

In the exhaust gas fuel-reforming method, part of the engine exhaust gas reacts with small amounts of engine fuel in a mini-reactor fitted in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) loop to produce gaseous fuel named reformed EGR (REGR), which contains H 2 , CO, CH 4 , and CO 2. The REGR gas is fed back to the engine inlet.
