Iran plans to produce gasoline form natural gas by the use of the GTL (Gas to Liquids) method, says the Iranian deputy minister of industry and mines.

Majlid Hedayat said on Monday that a pilot GTL production plant is expected to be operational within the next two weeks in the Iranian capital city, Tehran, to produce gasoline “for a 3-month trial,” Mehr news agency reported.

GTL is a refinery process which converts natural gas into gasoline or diesel fuel.

“Six hundred million dollars would be invested in GTL industry,” Hedayat further explained.

The Iranian official also noted that the country is planning to set up two “industrial and semi-industrial plants” to produce 13,000 barrels of gasoline per day.

Iran, which sits on the world's second largest natural gas reserves after Russia, is the second largest oil producer of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Two companies, SASOL and Shell, have technology proven to work on a commercial scale. Using gas-to-liquids processes, refineries can convert some of their gaseous waste products (flare gas) into valuable fuel oils, which can be sold as is or blended only with diesel fuel. It may also be used for the economic extraction of gas deposits in locations where it is not economical to build a pipeline. This process will be increasingly significant as crude oil resources are depleted. Royal Dutch Shell produces a diesel from natural gas in a factory in Bintulu, Malaysia. Another Shell GTL facility is the Pearl GTL plant in Qatar, the world's largest GTL facility.[1][2] SASOL has recently built 34kb/d Oryx GTL facility in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar.

On 12 October 2009, a Qatar Airways Airbus A340-600 conducted the world's first commercial passenger flight using a mixture of kerosene and synthetic Gas-to-Liquid fuel in its flight from London's Gatwick Airport to Doha.[3]

One other proposed solution is to use a novel FPSO for offshore conversion of gas to liquids (methanol, diesel, petrol, syn-crude and naphtha).[4]

Brazilian oil company Petrobras has ordered two small experimental GTL production facilities intended to be posted at offshore oil fields too distant or deep to justify gas pipelines to onshore GTL plant.[5][6][7]

The World Bank estimates that over 150 billion cubic metres of natural gas are flared or vented annually, an amount worth approximately 30.6 billion dollars, equivalent to 25 percent of the United States’ gas consumption or 30% of the European Union’s gas consumption per year,[8] a resource that could be useful using GTL.
