Abstract
The GTL industry can be viewed as an alternative to oil refining. The basic
technology of the industry dates back to 1923 when two German scientists,
Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch (FT), invented a process that could convert
natural gas to a hydrocarbon mixture which could then be upgraded into
petroleum products. The FT technology provides an alternative to traditional
crude oil refining, as liquid petroleum products, most notably diesel fuel,
can be produced from a non-liquid input, natural gas.
Aruvian' s Research brings you an in-depth focus on the emerging technology of
Gas to Liquids. The report focuses on all aspects of the Fischer Tropsch
process, conversion processes utilized on natural gas, the major companies
which are investing in this technology, the reasons for investing in GTL and
the investment scenario in the technology, and the financial difficulties
faced during financing of projects.
The report looks at the growth factors, challenges and barriers, the concept
of using GTL fuel for transportation, the economic feasibility of GTL
technologies and GTL projects, the effect of GTL on the energy market, and of
course, the basics of Gas to Liquid technologies. A lot more awaits you
inside this comprehensive intelligent analysis of GTL technology and market.
