This comprehensive book offers a wealth of knowledge and intricate details about oil shales, employing a diverse array of conventional and unconventional techniques and methodologies to unravel the composition of these valuable deposits. As these rocks are extracted for energy production, their composition and mineral constituents hold significant importance for individuals and communities that may be impacted by these resources during mining and processing. The book underscores the environmental and health risks associated with spent shales, which are significantly larger in volume compared to the rocks mined before processing. Toxic metals found in spent shales often exhibit double or triple concentrations, posing a significant threat to water sources and soils.
Given the uneconomical nature of oil shales as an energy resource, governments and institutions heavily subsidize their mining and processing, utilizing taxpayer money.
