Project description

Current Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) processes are too expensive or face important technological barriers. The aims of this project are:- reducing the cost and energy requirements of synthesis gas production and enhancing the catalyst stability- the development of GTL processes that can be implemented at smaller scales- the development of processes for the production of liquid fuels and chemicals
