Usage
Oil shale gas has served as a substitute for natural gas. In the 19th century and in the beginning of the 20th century oil shale gas was used as illuminating gas. In 1920s, gas plants in Tallinn and Tartu produced oil shale gas as a town gas. Since 1948, Estonian-produced oil shale gas was used in Leningrad and the cities in North Estonia. For this purpose, 276 gas generators were operational in Kohtla-Järve until 1987.
As oil shale gas occurs often as a byproduct of shale oil extraction, depending the processing technology it may be used for heating the pyrolysis process.

Famous quotes containing the word usage:
“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
“...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
—Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
