Cat4GtL

The valorization of natural gas through Gas-to-Liquids technology plays an essential role in the transport industry. This project combines catalyst development and reactor design to efficiently produce synthetic fuels of superior quality using a continuous Fischer-Tropsch process.Gas-to-Liquids (GtL) processes that convert natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons (HC) into longer-chain liquid hydrocarbons (LHC) (e.g., jet fuel, gasoline or diesel), will be in the near future a decisive alternative to oil refining. These synthetic fuels can be processed into fuels of superior quality compared to those obtained by oil refining, leading to a significant reduction in emission of particles, NOx, SOx, and aromatics to levels lower than those found in oil-based fuels. These synthetic fuels are considered environmentally friendlier than fossil alternatives, and their production contributes to the carbon circular economy.
