gas de lutita; gas de esquisto; gas de pizarra: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "gas de lutita", mejor que "de esquisto" o "de pizarra", es una alternativa en español al anglicismo "shale gas", empleado habitualmente en las noticias sobre extracción de hidrocarburos no convencionales. [...] La voz inglesa "shale", que hace referencia al tipo de roca de la que se extrae este tipo de gas, puede equivaler en español a lutita, pizarra o esquisto, de acuerdo con el Diccionario español de la energía, de Martín Municio y Colino Martínez. [...] En la práctica, ni el gas se preserva en los esquistos ni hay yacimientos de esquistos o de pizarras que contengan gas. 1, record 1, Spanish, - gas%20de%20lutita
