GTL

What is GTL?

GTL Fuel (Gas-To-Liquid) is a synthetic diesel alternative that is suitable for use in unmodified diesel engines. GTL liquid fuel is made from natural gas and is a cleaner-burning alternative fuel to diesel.
Benefits of GTL
- Has the emissions advantages of gas and the convenience of diesel
- Depending on the engine type, it can reduce NOx emissions by up to 25% and particulate emissions by up to 38%
- Free of unwanted sulphur, metals and aromatics, and is readily biodegradable
- No new infrastructure needed, GTL can be packaged, transported, stored and pumped using the same equipment, materials, and procedures as conventional diesel
- It can be used as a drop-in fuel in any diesel engine without the need for vehicle modification or changes to service intervals
- Better starting performance than diesel in cold conditions
