Abstract
To reduce the environmental impact of oil shale extraction it would be valuable to use renewable energy sources to provide power to heat the oil shale. This poster presents analysis of different renewable resources that could be used to provide this energy. This work is based on calculations by Alan Burnham of American Shale Oil (AMSO) of how much power is needed to extract 100,000 barrels per day for a medium oil shale (20gal/ton) and rich oil shale (30gal/ton).
