• 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.
