Consider fuels conversion. [USA]

S. Kasper

Abstract

The following resources in the USA are assessed: natural gas, petroleum, coal, oil-bearing shale, peat and biomass. It is possible to promote conversions of these fuels to produce synthetic fuels, or perform physical treatment such as drying or distillation. Synthetic fuels which can be produced are boiler fuels, process heater fuels, fuels for space heating, turbine fuels, transportation fuels, and for fuel cells. The suitability of each primary fuel for conversion to these synthetic fuels is discussed. (18 refs.)
