Qatar GTL facility faces another setback
The proponents of GTL (a diesel alternative made from natural gas) were shown another setback today as Qatar reaffirmed no plans to use the fuel locally. Green Car Congress: Qatar Has No Plans for Wide-Spread Use of GTL Fuel. also read the comments from some very knowledgable people on the bad economics of GTL versus CNG. It is WAY cheaper to compress Natural Gas or Liquify it than it is to make a distillate like product through GTL. Ask the Oryx GTL which has spent over $1B and the thing still doesn't work.
