7 Note: Arctic Reserve estimated at 10-20 billion barrels, plus ‘new’ areas Canadian Reserves with Tar Sands ~ 100 billion barrels Russia has unknown additional quantities, Caspian, Siberia, Kamchatka Western USA Oil Shale resource >> Saudi Oil resource.

8 A piece of Oil Shale The USA has at least 3 Trillion barrels of Oil Equivalent of this resource.

9 Coal Carbon, water, impurities C + O 2  CO 2 HALF IS CLINKER

10 : COAL

11 US Coal Consumption Coal 22 QBtu (23%) 80% used by electric utilities

12 Major Coal-Producing States

13 Coal Anthracite 22 – 28 million Btu per ton Not plentiful Bituminous 19 – 30 million Btu per ton Most plentiful Subbituminous 16 – 24 million Btu per ton Low sulfur content Lignite (Brown Coal) 9 – 17 million Btu per ton Local value only

14 Coal Resources and Consumption Global Recoverable 1,000 billion tons Global Consumption 5.2 billion tons/year US Recoverable 274 billion tons US Consumption 1.1 billion tons/year

15 Global Coal Resources United States 25% Russia 16% China 12% India 9% Australia 8% Germany 7% South Africa 5%

21 CHERNOBYL REGION RADIOACTIVITY Potential for accidental or intentional containment failure.

22 Cleanup can be effected by biological and other means

41 EFFICIENCY OF FUEL CELLS: CHEMICAL, NOT THERMAL PROCESS DIRECTLY USES ELECTRICITY WASTE HEAT MUCH LESS THAN OTTO CYCLE ENGINE MAX. EFFICIENCY HEAT ENGINE ~ 25-30% MAX. EFFICIENCY FUEL CELL ~75-80 % WASTE PRODUCTS DEPEND UPON FUEL WATER IN CASE OF HYDROGEN FUEL INTERSTITIAL HYDROGEN IN METALS, EQUALS ENERGY DENSITY OF GASOLINE…
