In the current energy market, non-traditional fuels like oil shale are becoming more economically important. Australia has >33 billion tonnes of oil shales resources with potential for >1800 million tonnes of recoverable oil. This potential multi-billion dollar industry depends upon development of an efficient technology leading to economical oil production and much cleaner organic liquid fuels. Retorting and combustion, which are core parts of oil shale conversion technology, would benefit from improved process conditions. This research proposal intends to investigate the in-situ complex oil shale thermal conversion reactions that occur during the retorting and combustion processes. Improved understanding of these complex reactions could lead to substantial economic and environmental improvements in oil shale processing.

在当前的能源市场上，像油页岩这样的非传统燃料在经济上变得越来越重要。澳大利亚拥有330亿吨油页岩资源，潜在可采石油储量为18亿吨。这个潜在的价值数十亿美元的产业取决于高效技术的发展，从而实现经济的石油生产和更清洁的有机液体燃料。作为油页岩转化技术的核心环节，重整和燃烧将受益于工艺条件的改善。本课题旨在研究油页岩在还原和燃烧过程中发生的原位复杂热转化反应。提高对这些复杂反应的理解，可以显著改善油页岩加工的经济效益和环境。
