Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) or Fischer-Tropsch Fuel

Return to Cleaner Fuel Use Index

Fischer-Tropsch technology converts coal, natural gas, and low-value refinery products into a high-value, clean-burning fuel. The resultant fuel is colorless, odorless, and low in toxicity. In addition, it is virtually interchangeable with conventional diesel fuels, can be blended with diesel at any ratio with little to no modification, and has little or no sulfur content. Fischer-Tropsch fuels offer important emissions benefits compared with diesel, reducing nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. For more information see the websites below.
