LTFT (low-temperature Fischer–Tropsch)

Low-Temperature Fischer–Tropsch (LTFT) is a method of converting synthesis gas (a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) into liquid fuels like diesel and jet fuel, operated at lower temperatures (around 200-250°C). This process produces longer, more saturated hydrocarbon molecules, resulting in higher-quality fuels with less branching. LTFT generally yields cleaner fuels with fewer side products and better properties for engines. It is often used when producing high-quality synthetic fuels from coal, natural gas, or biomass, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum refining.
