Gas-to-Liquids (GTL)

Sometimes you hear GTL referred to as Synfuel or FT-diesel. The process used to turn gas to liquid stems from a process called Fischer-Tropsch that synthesizes a gas vapor to form a diesel fuel, hence the term synthetic fuel, or Synfuel.

One scenario put forth by the World Energy Congress is that by the year 2020 approximately 30 percent of vehicles will run on a Synfuel. He also thinks that by the year 2020 10 percent of vehicles will be diesel hybrids, 15 percent will be gasoline hybrids, 35 percent will be gasoline (with ethanol) internal combustion engines and 5 percent will be fuel cells.
