Gas to Liquid Technologies

Like oil and coal, natural gas is not what first comes to mind when considering sustainable fuel sources. Yet as for other fossil sources, conversion of natural gas to transportation fuel is currently more affordable than conversion of renewable resources such as wind and solar, which are technically far away from availability at even a fraction of the scale required to have significant impact on meeting global demand over the coming decades.

Coal to Liquids Technologies

Like oil and natural gas, coal is a fossil resource and as such is not what first comes to mind when considering sustainable fuel sources. Coal contributes to sustainability as a complement to maintaining continuous availability of sufficient fuel to meet growing global demand[3].
