Based on MMSA estimates using conventional methanol production technology versus GasTechno design claims, employing the GasTechno technology would place the user among the most competitive suppliers of methanol to Asia, on firm competitive basis.

Process Overview
The GasTechno process converts natural gas into methanol in a single, simple step. The patented process uses a proven, field demonstrated partial oxidation reactor system that is effective on high and low BTU gas. The carbon efficiencies exceed traditional FischerTropsch technologywithoutexpensivepretreatment,catalystsorcomplicatedprocessingsteps. The introductory MiniGTLTM plant further simplifies the GasTechno process by producing a raw blend of liquid alcohols. The alcohol blend is then refined at a central processing facility that services several local or regional MiniGTL plants. The MiniGTLTM plant is an industrial strength field processing unit that operates automatically, requires only minimal direct observation,andcanbeoperatedandmonitoredremotely.

this one step technology of converting natural gas to methanol, when verified for commercial readiness, will alter the technology view which currently exists in the major chemical and petroleum industry

Commercialization Economics
A complete GasTechno GTL plant can be scaled down to 1 mmscfd; the GasTechno MiniGTLTM plant can be scaled down even further, to 200 mscfd in which case final processing of the raw liquidproductisperformedatacentralprocessingfacility. Although the economic factors are positive at this miniscale, the presence of a central processing facility is necessaryfor final separation of the GTL product blend.

it is crucial to increase awareness of the need for economic structures that are more respectful of the environment and of future generations for me 'green economy' does not mean 'new conditionality' but rather 'opportunity' Joseph Deiss, President UN General Assembly
