Availability of liquid fuels from conventional sources for electric utility gas turbines, 1975--1985. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7311087
This study projects the availability and price range of these fuels for the generation of electric power by means of simple or combined-cycle gas turbines in the U.S. The first section of this report attempts to determine the likely total volume of liquid turbine fuel required by utilities in 1980 and 1985 under different assumptions. A frame of reference for the general availability of the required volume is established by projecting world crude oil supplies and likely prices over the next ten years as well as U.S. demand for crude oil and refined products and the domestic and foreign supply sources required to meet this demand in 1980 and 1985. An analysis is made of the outlook for the following turbine fuels: LPG, naphtha, distillate fuel oil, and residual fuel oil. (DLC)
