Modular Gas-To-Liquid Technology

Technology Summary

• Catalytic Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) to Olefins
• Based on advance Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductive oxides
• Efficient precursor for liquid fuel production (gasoline or diesel)
• Co-Generation of valuable liquid fuel AND electricity
• Process intensification gives high capital efficiency at small scale
• Manufacturing synergies with SOFC industry

Commercial Targets

• Conversion efficiency higher than FT GTL – over 70%
• Capital efficiency of less than 70 $/BL-D
• Fungible liquid fuel product – gasoline or diesel

Technology Impact

• Reduce CO2 emission from flared natural gas
• Efficient production of electricity for remote gas offshore platforms, biogas, shale gas
• Leverages US knowledge and manufacturing basis in Ceramics, Fuel Cells, Conductive Solid State Materials
• Reduces the US’s energy dependence
• Creates a US based manufacturing system for global export
