GTLpetrol's commercial technology unlocks major strategic opportunities such as monetising stranded gas and establishing smaller scale distributed production networks, in addition to improving the economics and emissions of world-scale plants. GTLpetrol's patented technology concentrates on the design of syngas front-ends that have numerous advantages compared to traditional steam methane reformering for the production of GTL as well as hydrogen, methanol, ammonia and other petrochemicals. GTLpetrol's patent portfolio contains 56 issued patents and 57 open applications worldwide covering various aspects of process design and syngas integration, including a gas turbine driving an air separation unit, or integration with a gas turbine combined cycle power system.

Benefits include:
• Up to 40% lower capital cost.
• Up to 20% lower operating cost.
• Substantially higher thermal efficiency.
• Significantly decreased NOx and CO2 emissions.
• Surplus CO2-free electric power production for export.
• Greater site flexibility as a result of much smaller physical footprint.
• Reduced construction risk with a scalable, modular and skid-mounted deployment
