Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 18, 2009

Italian oil major Eni made a world class gas discovery at its Perla field, in the shallow water of the Venezuelan offshore, successfully drilling an explorative well in the Perla field, located in the Cardon IV block, in the Gulf of Venezuela. The Venezuelan state company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A.

The process can extract hydrogen from existing oil sands reservoirs, with huge existing supplies found in Canada and Venezuela. This heat causes the nearby hydrocarbons—and any surrounding water molecules—to break apart (thermolysis).Thermolysis, Proton Technologies is commercializing the process.

U Calgary study finds oil shale most energy intensive upgraded fuel followed by in-situ-produced bitumen from oil sands

Green Car Congress

JULY 10, 2015

A team at the University of Calgary (Canada) has compared the energy intensities and lifecycle GHG emissions of unconventional oils (oil sands and oil shale) alongside shale gas, coal, lignite, wood and conventional oil and gas. How does this relate to the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity?

As part of the analysis, DOS commissioned a detailed study of greenhouse gas life-cycle emissions that compared Canadian oil sands crude with other selected reference crudes. This range is equivalent to annual greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in 588,000 to 4,061,000 passenger vehicles. —FEIS. The pipeline.

Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Similar mismatches in supply and demand contributed to massive cascading blackouts in August 2003 in the northeastern United States and Canada, in July 2012 in India , and in March 2019 in Venezuela.

In fact, our high levels of renewable energy mean the benefits from reducing EV emissions are greater than in most other countries and in some cases would produce 80% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. There are two main sources of lithium in the world; hard rock mines and brine water. EV MYTH THREE: The world will run out of lithium.
