Converting Oil Shale to Gasoline via Alberta Taciuk Processor Results in Full Fuel Cycle GHG Emissions 1.5-1.75 Larger Than From Conventionally Produced Gasoline

Green Car Congress

GHG emissions for ATP shale (low and high cases) and conventional gasoline in grams of CO 2 e per MJ of final fuel delivered. Mton of raw shale, using a 250 ton/h Alberta Taciuk Processor (ATP) retort. Also of importance is a recent project in Queensland, operated by Southern Pacific Petroleum(SPP), which also used the ATP.
