Natural Gas to Liquid Market

This report estimates the global natural gas to liquid market, in terms of market size. The market has been segmented by size (small scale large scale), by method (Fischer-tropsch process, methanol to gasoline (MTG) process, syngas to gasoline plus process) and regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America).

Conversion of natural gas to liquid is a refinery process to convert natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into longer-chain hydrocarbons such as gasoline or diesel fuel. Methane-rich gases are converted into liquid synthetic fuels either via direct conversion i.e. by using non-catalytic processes that convert methane to methanol in one step or via syngas as an intermediate, such as in the Fischer-Tropsch, Mobil and syngas to asoline plus processes.

With increased demand for oil products worldwide, refinery activity has significantly increased resulting in high flaring of gas leading to a shift in focus toward alternative technology such as natural gas to liquids to produce various liquid fuels.

Various secondary sources such as encyclopedia, directories, and databases have been used to identify and collect information useful for this extensive commercial study of natural gas to liquid market.
