Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) fuels can be produced from natural gas, coal, and biomass using a Fischer-Tropsch chemical reaction process. The liquids produced include naphtha, diesel, and chemical feed stocks.

At the end of 2019, the global gas to liquid market size was estimated to be above USD 5.55 billion. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on this industry as many of the projects got delayed, and some were permanently shut down. Between 2020 to 2022, the global GTL market witnessed a significant decline, and it is expected to experience moderate growth in the coming years to 2028. A return to the pre-pandemic levels is expected eventually, though at a slow pace. Nevertheless, it is expected that the market for GTL will witness a boost in the future as several projects get completed and come online by the end of 2030. 

The publisher brings you an in-depth focus on the technology of Gas to Liquids. Analyzing Gas to Liquids Market 2022 focuses on all aspects of the Fischer Tropsch process, conversion processes utilized on natural gas, the major companies which are investing in this technology, the reasons for investing in GTL and the investment scenario in the technology, and the financial difficulties faced during financing of projects.

The report looks at the growth factors, challenges and barriers, the concept of using GTL fuel for transportation, the economic feasibility of GTL technologies and GTL projects, the effect of GTL on the energy market, and of course, the basics of Gas to Liquid technologies. A lot more awaits you inside this comprehensive intelligent analysis of GTL technology and market.

The engineering process involved in GTL is a value enhancer to this edition, along with a look at how GTL can reduce emissions in the atmosphere.

An in-depth analysis of all major companies participating actively in GTL developments is also included in the report. Companies included in the report are: 

  • Cosmo Oil
  • Chiyoda Corporation
  • Equinor
  • General Electric
  • QatarEnergy
