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

Green Car Congress

Enefit Technology comprises a novel combination of processing units, each of them serving special purposes such as drying and pyrolysis of oil shale, combustion of semi-coke, as well as the dedusting and cleaning of vapors and gases. Waste heat is used to generate electricity, making Enefit shale oil plants net producers of electricity.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

Clean electricity makes a difference. In Norway , which is the world leader in renewable energy use, 45% of electricity comes from hydropower, while Brazil in second place gets 32% of its total energy supply from biofuel and waste energy. That means today, EVs will result in lower CO2 emissions overall than ICE vehicles.

The Future of Fission Reactors May Be Small

Cars That Think

But if one persistent cadre of nuclear optimists are right, then Linglong One could be a model for fission’s future in an age of clean energy. Even more discouragingly, nuclear’s per-unit cost increased 26 percent between 2009 and 2019—while solar and wind power prices plummeted instead.
