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. The research concentrates on two aspects: maximizing the production of liquid fuel and reducing the carbon intensity of oil shale-based power and heat generation.

The results depend most sensitively on the grade of shale used, and the rate of carbonate mineral decomposition which causes inorganic CO 2 release, reports Brandt in a paper published online 25 August in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels. The high temperatures can cause carbonate minerals within the shale to decompose. These are ~1.5-1.75
