- Description

GTL (Gas-To-Liquid) Fuel is a synthetic, cleaner-burning alternative to traditional Crude Oil-based Diesel. It’s often referred to as both GTL Fuel and GTL Diesel. This is because it can be used as a direct ‘drop-in’ replacement for Diesel, which means it can be used to power Diesel vehicles without any engine modifications.[1]
GTL Diesel is manufactured by converting Gas to Liquid via a process called Fischer-Tropsch. This Technology breaks down the Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide Molecules in Syngas and makes them into heavier, uniform Hydrocarbon Molecules that take the form of a Liquid.[1]
The Fischer–Tropsch process involves a series of Chemical Reactions that produce a variety of Hydrocarbons, ideally having the formula (CnH2n+2). The more useful Reactions produce Alkanes as follows:
(2n + 1) H2 + n CO → CnH2n+2 + n H2O
where n is typically 10–20.[2]
This colourless, odourless Fuel is used just like Fossil Diesel and has a wide range of uses across a variety of industries, including transport, agriculture and construction.[1]
