Why Tanzania Should Turn Natural Gas Into Diesel

If you are skeptical, technology has made it possible to convert natural gas and coal into high-quality liquid transportation fuel such as diesel, kerosene, lubricants oil and jet fuel just to mention a few. This technology is known as Gas-To-Liquid (GTL).

Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) has been around for years. It enacted in the 1920s by the German scientists named Franz Fischer and Hans Trapsch when they had figure out the best way to convert coal into oil materials like diesel and kerosene. The technology become the most important source of energy in German that provides fuel to keep transportation going in the country.

Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) worked dramatically not only with coal and natural gas, applying heat and pressure and convert natural gas into oil products such as diesel, engine oil and so on.With no oil but huge quantities of natural gas assets, it is a reasonable option for Tanzania to give the gas-to-liquid technology a chance.

Tanzania does not produce oil, is a net importer of the oil-related product such as diesel, lubricant oil.With huge gas reserves in the country (about 57 trillion cubic feet of gas gross recovered). Transforming natural gas into transportation fuel is the best way to sustain our oil-reliant way of life. The gas-to-liquid process will help Tanzania to become self-sufficient and reduce or stop relying on importing the transportation fuel from the foreign country.

And use our natural gas rather than buying the fuel from other countries. It will help Tanzanians, consumers, to buy cheap fuel at the pump. Another reason to encourage the use of the gas-to-liquid process is the liquid fuels derived from the technology has fewer impurities such as sulfur and Nitrogen, than fuel made from crude oil. Because it derived from the cleanest fossil fuel-natural gas.
