ResumoSectorIn 1997, twenty two million tonnes of oil shale of 43 TWh of effective energy was extracted from the six mines and three opencasts in Estonia, of which 14.4 million tonnes, of 30 TWh of total energy, was sold after enrichment at the average price of 98 EEK/t, and at the price of eneigy of 4 sents/kWh.This was used to generate a little less than 8 TWh of electricity ю two large power plants, ca 5 TWh of oil shale oil and gas in three oil shale oil plants and slightly more than 2 TWh of thermal energy in Kunda, Narva, Kohtla-Jirve and Johvi region.According to these figures, the efficiency of the oil shale energy conversion system with regard to the extracted oil shale was close to 37 %.
