Oil shale processing

Outotec’s expertise covers the entire chain of oil extraction with energy-effective waste management.

With energy prices constantly climbing, due, in part, to ever-shrinking common traditional resources, fossil fuel alternatives such as oil shale or oil sand have suddenly deserved a second look in terms of what they can offer for the long term in the future.

In March 2009 Outotec launched a joint venture with Eesti Energia, based in Estonia, to develop and market sustainable, energy-efficient and economically viable oil shale processing methods. 

Outotec's innovative technologies provide the path to optimized solutions and complete plants for the production of unconventional oil. 

Providing beneficiation, oil winning and energy-effective waste management, Enefit Outotec Technology offers complete plant solutions and plant optimizations.
