Simultaneously Get Oil and Gas and Produce Electricity
January 22, 2013 /
Last night Al Fin posted about Marshall Savage whose idea is utilizing solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) placed within rocks at strategic locations. This approach would produce oil, gas, and electricity using an ‘in situ process’, without significant mining or rock removal.
The idea is a brilliant connection of existing technologies harnessed in a different way to make a difficult problem an immense opportunity. The difficult problem is accessing the trillions of barrels of oil equivalent locked inside oil shale kerogens waiting for a clean and profitable approach of production.
