INFRA and Greenway to partner on GTL plants

Green Car Congress

There are worldwide initiatives underway to reduce the amount of flared and vented gases which waste valuable natural resources and contribute to CO 2 emissions. These fuels, derived from natural gas, will be incrementally cleaner than similar petroleum-based fuels.
