Fran Hein edited the EMD update paper for the Journal of Natural Resources Research: Unconventional [and Alternative] Energy Resources: 2017 Review.This review presents six summaries for energy resource commodities including the commonly known energy resources, and an analysis of energy economics and technology for the different commodities, as prepared by the Commodity Committee leadership of the Energy Minerals Division of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
Unconventional energy resources, which includes the principal alternative energy resources as defined in this report, are those energy resources that do not occur in discrete oil or gas reservoirs held within stratigraphic and/or structural traps of sedimentary basins. As defined, such energy resources include coal, coalbed methane (CBM), tight gas and liquids, bitumen and heavy oil, uranium (U), thorium (Th), and associated rare earth elements of interest to industry, and geothermal. Current North American and global research and development activities are summarized for each of the unconventional energy resource commodities in separate topical sections of this report.
