Current trends
Coal
• 2 operating mines• Significant economically recoverable reserves• Bituminous• 3-6% sulfur, 10% ash content• Technology – IGCC, GTL, ISC, other
• Future of Missouri coal?• Demand?
• Technology?

Current trends
Oil
• Very little primary production• Increasing exploration and secondary/tertiary production–
steam, water, CO2
• Oil sands - significant economically recoverable reserves• Low sulfur, high gravity• 75-80% $$ WTI• Technology – horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, mining,
other
• Future of Missouri oil?• Demand?
• Technology?• Water?

Current trends
Gas
• Very little production• Associated with oil recovery, not primary • Coal Bed Methane – known occurrence; unknown quality or
reserves• Technology – horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, other
• Future of Missouri gas?• New Discovery?

Alternative Energy and Natural Resources
Solar
Battery
Wind
Geothermal
Celebrating 40 years of taking care of Missouri’s natural resources.
Current trends
Wind
• A single 3-MW wind turbine requires:• 335 tons of steel• 4.7 tons copper• 1,200 tons industrial minerals• 3 tons aluminum• 2 tons REE (Samarium-neodymium-holmium-gadolinium-
praseodymium-dysprosium)
• Upstream issues?• Economic opportunity?
• Water?

Current trends
Solar
• Photovoltaic cells and solar concentrators:• High purity silica• Copper-indium-gallium-selenium• Molybdenum• Cadmium-Tellurium• Aluminum• Nickel
• Upstream issues?• Economic opportunity?
• Water?

Current trends
Battery
• Battery technology requires:• Vanadium-zinc-cerium-bromine-lead-nickel-lithium-cobalt• Copper-indium-gallium-selenium• Cadmium-tellurium
• Upstream issues?• Economic opportunity?
• Water?
Celebrating 40 years of taking care of Missouri’s natural resources.
Current trends
Geothermal
• Geologic/geographic restriction• Uniqueness of the resource• Not scalable• Induced seismicity
• Ground Source Heat Exchange
• Upstream issues?• Economic opportunity?
• Water?

Missouri operations• Currently 23 oil and gas operators in Missouri• Energy prices and demand will drive E/P• Technology breakthroughs could lead to substantial increases• Missouri oil and gas operators:
• no oil and gas permit fees• not required to pay full cost well closure bonding• pay no oversight/regulatory expenses to the State • pay no severance taxes• no regulation addressing hydraulic fracturing
• Regulatory?• Economic opportunity?
• State Energy Plan?

The Rocks Matter
• Earth resources are essential to energy sources of all types.– The supply chain is long and global – and the public is
generally shielded from thinking about it– Legacy issues – past, present, future– Influence on other elements: water, landscapes, food,
environmental health, climate, jobs, public health– Hazards and risks: Real? Perceived?
