Abstract: The technical feasibility and economic expediency of the shale-converting power technology complex at the Leningradskoye deposit in northwest Russia is substantiated herein. Two basic options of production utilisation are considered: manufacture of power fluid fuels, mainly for gas turbines and combined-cycle units; and production of boiler and ship fuel oils and domestic gas fuels.

Keywords: solid heat carrier units (SHCU); environmental protection; low temperature coke gas (LTCG); gasoline fraction; diesel fraction; heavy oil; combined-cycle installation; UTT (SHCU).
