Page 143 - EPRI was established by the electric utility industry in 1972 to conduct a broad research and development program for the entire electric utility industry and its ratepayers.
Page 293 - Also, the present abundance of oil, the duration of which is uncertain, has led to the dismantling of many other alternative fossil fuel research efforts. At the present levels of support, it will be difficult to maintain sound technical expertise and adequate training of new scientific and engineering talent in the technologies of coal, oil shale, and tar sands. Unless corrected, this situation will jeopardize the ability of the US to respond effectively to the next oil shortage. The ACS is distressed...
Page 102 - CNG vehicles emit almost no sulfur oxides or particulate matter. Fleet use of CNG vehicles in congested cities would provide a significant benefit to those areas where air quality improvement is most critical...
Page 96 - NATURAL GAS: $14 Million Large amounts of gas have been identified in tight geological formations such as Devonian shales and tight sands. Devonian shales and tight sands are estimated to contain more than 1,800 Tcf and 900 Tcf of gas, respectively. Tight formations gas is produced using unconventional recovery techniques. A. 6. A. estimates that favorable economic conditions and substantial investment in tight formations R&D programs could result in annual "incremental...
Page 97 - Research must be conducted to develop techniques for gasifying these "fines" and liquid byproducts, and for consolidating "fines" and tars for utilization. Scientific and engineering feasibility studies of advanced generation gasification processes must also be conducted to develop a technological database for such processes.
Page 31 - statements of Interest In, and proposals for projects employing emerging clean coal technologies," and submit a report to Congress.
Page 310 - The major achievements of the program Include: • Operation of the LaPorte PDU for an aggregate of over 2,500 hours under a wide range of operating conditions, with on-stream reliability In excess of 981.
Page 290 - ... energy security. It Is our consensus that the current downturn In world oil prices is temporary and partly artificial and could portend a swing In the opposite direction of equally major proportions. Now seems to be the most opportune time to conduct the necessary research so that the technology Is ready when needed. In our judgement the venture pool approach proposed by DoE will not work with tar sands. The research Is not sufficiently advanced nor Is Information available for the ventures to...
Page 97 - ... and tars for utilization. Scientific and engineering feasibility studies of advanced generation gasification processes must also be conducted to develop a technological database for such processes. In addition, research must be conducted to identify the proper treatment and disposal techniques for gasification waste byproducts.
Page 31 - The principal goal of this program is, as stated in Public Law 99-190, "for the purposes of conducting cost-shared clean coal technology projects for the construction and operation of facilities to demonstrate the feasibility of future commercial operation.
