Gas-to-liquid (GTL)

Gas-to-liquid (GTL) is a process that converts natural gas into liquid hydrocarbons, which can be used as fuels or chemical feedstocks. The primary method involves converting natural gas, primarily methane, into synthetic liquids through chemical reactions, often using high temperatures and pressures. This technology allows for cleaner burning fuels and can create products like diesel and naphtha. GTL is beneficial because it enables the use of abundant natural gas resources, especially in areas lacking infrastructure for gas transport, reducing reliance on oil and promoting energy diversification.
