The economical conversion of methane(CH4), the principal component of natural gas, to liquid fuels, particularly gasoline (C5-H10) is one of the main challenges in the gas to liquids (GTL) technology. The existing technology based on Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is adapted by SASOL in South Africa and...
