The gas-to-liquids (GTL) operations aims to produce finished liquid transportation fuels from natural gas.
But in many situations, such as certain oil fields and offshore platforms, the associated natural gas stream is often too limited for conventional GTL fuel production, and too substantial to be released into the atmosphere.
Carbon Sciences CEO Byron Elton said the company’s CarbonCrude solution was developed for a small scale GTL operation that can convert oil field natural gas into CarbonCrude, our version of an ultra-clean and environmentally friendly synthetic crude oil.
"CarbonCrude can then be blended with natural crude oil from the field and transported to market using existing oil pipelines," Elton said.
"Existing refineries can then process this blended crude oil into a variety of products, including transportation fuels."
Carbon Sciences is the developer of a breakthrough technology to make liquid transportation fuels from natural gas and carbon dioxide.
