Jennifer P. Spinti was the Assistant Director of the Clean and Secure Energy from Domestic Oil Shale and Oil Sands Resources program in the Institute for Clean and Secure Energy (ICSE) at The University of Utah from 2009 to 2015. As part of her duties, she organized the University of Utah Unconventional Fuels Conference, edited and published two reports on oil shale and oil sands, and developed a repository of documents, maps, and data related to these resources. She also oversaw research projects related to development of oil shale and oil sands resources in Utah’s Uinta Basin and was actively involved in two of those projects. Dr. Spinti earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from The University of Utah in 1997 studying NOx emissions from coal combustion. Since then, her research has focused on using computer simulation of combustion systems to reduce the environmental impacts of fossil fuel utilization.

Reviews for Utah Oil Shale: Science, Technology, and Policy Perspectives

"""Anyone involved with in-situ oil shale retorting MUST have this book. It is a definitive work. Spinti, et. al., courageously tackle a very complex and sometimes controversial topic with great vigor and aplomb. The rigor applied to this technologically complicated topic is without precedent."" —Ron Stites, Stites & Associates, LLC, Denver, Colorado, USA"
