Basics
- Stands For Gas to Liquids
- Traditionally uses natural gas and/or syngas to produce liquid fuels, we will use syngas carbon monoxide + hydrogen and/or anaerobic fermentor methane
Processes
Fischer–Tropsch
Methane to Methanol
Methanol to Dymethyl Ether
Dymethyl Ether and/or Methanol into Hydrocarbons
Biological gas-to-liquids (Bio-GTL)
- Feed the methane to methanotrophs
- Extract oil from methanotrophs to make biodiesel
- or Ferment methanotrophs to make ethanol?
