中国石油化工(0386)与於纳斯达克巿场上巿的Syntroleum Corporation签订无约束的谅解备忘录,合作於国内开发及推广两种能源技术,包括催化天然气转换成合成液化碳氢化合物(GTL)及催化煤转换为合成液化碳氢化合物(CTL)。
备忘录内容包括,中石化有权采用Syntroleum的 GTL及 CTL技术,以发展其炼油业务,同时,中石化需於未来5年内,每年向Syntroleum缴交2000万美元的技术费用。另外,中石化拟兴建两间专开发GTL及 CTL的工厂,该两间工厂预计每年分别产出70万桶由天然气转换成合成液化碳氢化合物及3000桶由煤转换成的合成液化碳氢化合物。两间公司并会合力於国内宣传及推广使用合成液化碳氢化合物。
Syntroleum Corporation has come a long way since its founding in 1984 by Kenneth I. Agee. Today, the company is a recognized force in the gas-to-liquids (GTL) industry and is one of the most vocal about introducing the possibilities of commercial GTL and coal-to-liquids (CTL) technology to the world.
Syntroleum’s GTL technology allows it to produce gas onshore and in marine environments. Our process realizes the advantages of building a plant on a much smaller footprint. This enables economic development of fields in the one-to-three trillion cubic feet range, many in remote locations.
Our process also represents a solution to flaring. Because stranded natural gas is often associated with oil and production, producers typically flare this valuable asset to get to the crude, burning off as much as 10 billion cubic feet each day. The practice is not only wasteful, it is the target of worldwide environmental laws designed to reduce global warming.
With 127 patents issued and pending, Syntroleum’s GTL technology represents the perfect fit to actively pursue stranded gas projects and resolve the need for flaring. Syntroleum is in the right place at the right time to provide high-performing, ultra-clean fuels to global markets.
Additionally, Syntroleum has assembled some of the world’s best chemists and engineers to work on its team. In their commitment to continually improve the process, they have achieved a 20% increase in Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reactor capacity, a significant increase in wax filtration performance and the development of a new generation attrition-resistant FT catalyst.
Today’s substantially higher oil prices, the need to monetize the world’s stranded gas, and the growing urgency for clean-burning fuels establish world-scale opportunities for Syntroleum. We’re offering an energy solution whose time has come.
