Many countries have quantities of oil shale: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Estonia, Russia, Scotland, South Africa, Spain Sweden and the United States of America which has 62% of the potentially recoverable oil shale. Oil shale (between 5 and 25 percent of the rock) must be crushed and heated to 500 degrees Celsius to be changed into an oil-like liquid which must be processed but can produce an oil better than the lowest grade of oil produced from pumping.
