Podcasts about oil shale

An Estonian oil company, Enefit, recently abandoned its plans to mine oil shale on federal land in the Uinta Basin and lost the authority to use its water rights for fossil fuel production. It's a huge win for environmentalists who were fighting the proposal — the company was hoping to produce 50,000 barrels of synthetic oil daily and use about 11,000 acre feet of water per year from the Green River. And later in the newscast, our radio partners report on a new solar plant in Red Mesa and breakthroughs in geothermal energy in southwestern Utah. // Plus, the Weekly News Reel! Sophia Fisher of The Times-Independent discusses concerns over downtown's aesthetic conditions, preparing for the upcoming eclipse, a rise in Spanish Valley's short-term rentals and an 84-year old ‘legendary' skydiver.

Summary: Grant Norwood comes on the show to give his take on the state of the oil patch, and it looks like the shale era is coming to an end—for oil, at least. We discuss the progression towards an electrified fuel economy that has everyone wondering how long the transition would take, and if this could sustain future energy needs. Grant talks about the current difficulties with acquiring funding for reserves, and says that we would need to take at least half the cars off the road that use fossil fuels to position ourselves for a better future. We also discuss where oil prices are headed, and Grant provides predictions based on government policy, the lack of new supply and companies shutting down.

New technology that combines production of electricity with capture of carbon dioxide could make billions of barrels of oil shale — now regarded as off-limits because of the huge amounts of carbon dioxide released in its production — available as an energy source. That’s the conclusion of a report on electricity production with in situ carbon capture EPICC in ACS’ journal Energy and Fuels.
