Basics

  • Often Abbreviated as GTL
  • 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 Dimethyl Ether

Dimethyl Ether and/or Methanol into Hydrocarbons

  • Commercialized Process
  • Need to look into Catalysts used etc
