Alpha is critical because its impact is felt upstream in the syngas module (due to recycling), the sizing of the FT reactor itself and most directly downstream in upgrading.
“Bigger is better” is so deeply ingrained in the oil and gas industry that the assumption is rarely examined.
The first two editions of this series were scene-setting. Now we get to the question that actually matters for anyone making investment decisions in renewable fuels: which Fischer-Tropsch technology should you be betting on?
This edition covers the Upgrading process that turns raw FT output into finished fuel and then takes a detour into some surprising applications that are rapidly becoming significant markets in their own right.
If you’re investing in SAF, you’re already exposed to Fischer-Tropsch synthesis — whether you realize it or not. It’s one of the most important technologies underpinning the future of aviation fuel.
