• Abstract:
  This study is a comparative technical and economic assessment of selected
  
  synfuel technologies. It contains papers written for Office of Technology
  
  Assessment (OTA) to assist in preparation of the report "Increased Automobile
  
  Fuel Efficiency and Synthetic Fuels: Alternatives for Reducing Oil Imports." A
  
  key purpose of this study is to provide technical and economic comparisons
  
  among selected synfuel technologies which, to the extent possible, provides a
  
  background and basis which may assist the OTA in its policy deliberations. The
  
  synfuel technologies have been selected in consultation with and guidance from
  
  the OTA. They generically represent: oil shale production; direct and indirect
  
  coal liquefaction (including Mobil-M gasoline synthesis); and coal gasification
  
  (low, medium and high Btu). 252p.
