A fundamental discovery about the Fischer Tropsch process, a catalytic reaction used in industry to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to liquid fuels, could someday allow for more efficient fuel ...

Few industrial chemical processes have a history as winding as that of the Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis, which was reported by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch 1 100 years ago in Brennstoff-Chemie.

Considerable research effort has been devoted to developing sustainable alternative feedstocks for critical petrochemical products in response to rising concerns about the carbon footprint of fossil ...

Montana’s Crow Nation and Australian-American Energy Co. reported in August that they will jointly construct a $7 billion coal-to-liquid (CTL) fuels plant in southeastern Montana. Plans for the plant ...
