Scaleable Solutions





In January 2007 California established the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. By 2020 the standard will reduce the carbon intensity of California's passenger vehicles by at least 10%. It is beyond doubt that GTL diesel offers better emissions performance than conventional fuels.

This high potential industry collectively faces one significant challange; the need to drive down capital and operating costs of GTL plants.
"The Petroleum Economist"

"Never before has humanity faced such a challenging outlook for energy and the planet. This can be summed up in five words “"more energy, less carbon dioxide"
Jeroen van der Veer, CEO, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, 2008

Today many important low-carbon technologies have higher costs than carbon intensive technologies, and, only through RD&D and market deployment will these costs come down. Some technologies needed to revolutionise the global energy system are still at the R&D stage while many others require further refinement and cost reductions to become fully commercial.
This sort of 'Clean Energy New Deal' not only generates economic growth in the short term, but it also will help us win the fight against climate change in the longer term.

Our approach is different to conventional current GTL systems. Billions of dollars have been invested by the major oil and gas companies and other major players in the GTL industry. Their focus has been on large plants using mainly technologies developed in the last 20 years.

We aim to provide a solution to the conversion of stranded and associated gas and we will develop safe, economic, small and modular systems to do this.

There are 3 steps in the manufacture of synthetic fuels using a gas to liquids process.They are Syngas, Fisher-Tropsch synthesis and hydrocarbon upgrading. In conventional systems, approximately 60% of the costs are attributed to the Syngas step.

The current Syngas production technologies that are used by the industry are Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), Auto Thermal Reforming (ATR) and non Catalytic Partial Oxidation (POX).

For Syngas production, Gas2 uses a Catalytic Partial Oxidation process (CPOX) utilising our proprietary ceramic membrane technology.

The key differentiators with the Gas2 Syngas Process are safety, improved efficiencies, cost savings, accurate ratios of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, ability to work at pressures found in the field, simplicity and flexibility.

Gas2 has also developed a proprietary process for converting Syngas to liquid fuels and other hydrocarbon products.
