Groundbreaking in Turkmenistan for major synthetic gasoline plant; first full-scale Haldor Topsøe TIGAS facility

Green Car Congress

In August, a groundbreaking ceremony was held in Ovadan-Depe near the capital of Ashgabad in Turkmenistan to launch the construction of a major plant focused on the conversion of natural gas into synthetic gasoline. Synthetic gasoline is a competitive alternative to refinery gasoline and new energy carriers.

Vertimass receives up to $2M from DOE for conversion of ethanol into gasoline, diesel and jet blendstocks; expanding the ethanol market

Green Car Congress

Ethanol conversion to hydrocarbons as a function of temp. Fractional collection of the fuel product allows for the different fractions to be used as blendstock for gasoline, diesel, or jet fuel. The technology will result in higher yields to gasoline, jet fuel and diesel products and is expected to prolong the life of vehicles.
