Fuel release from solid fossil-fuel deposits by electrical induction heating

Sidney T. Fisher

Applied Energy, 1979, vol. 5, issue 2, 113 pages

Abstract: The solid fossil fuels are non-magnetic electrical partial conductors with relatively high electromagnetic loss factors and therefore absorb energy efficiently from an alternating electromagnetic field. The electrical induction heating of fossil-fuel deposits permits low-cost, clean production in situ of petroleum, natural gas, coal tar and electricity on large scales. Physical and chemical data and laboratory investigations indicate the technical and economic feasibility of the processes.
