GTL(Gas to Liquids)
GTL is a process that transforms natural gas or associated gas into a clean diesel fuel or naphtha containing less
impurities than petroleum-derived products.
Since November 2007, Toyo has been developing a compact, cost efficient Micro-GTL process jointly with Velocys
Inc., and MODEC, Inc. Because of the compactness, the Micro-GTL plant can be installed not only onshore but also
onboard a ship. Early commercialization of on-board GTL (floating GTL) is expected to be effectively developed and
utilized because it will allow development of deep-sea natural gas that has not been easily exploited.
