New CTL Technology Market: Growth Prospects for Global Level 2017-2025

Coal is an essential fuel utilized globally to generate electricity, while petroleum fuels are commonly utilized in vehicles. Moreover, coal and petroleum fuels majorly possess carbon (carbon-carbon bond (C-C)) hydrocarbons), which makes the conversion of coal to liquid fuel more feasible.

 

Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/21/2017 -- The production of liquid fuel from coal is also known as Coal-to-Liquid (CTL) technology or coal liquefaction, either by direct or indirect liquefaction. In this procedure, coal is dissolved in a solvent at high temperature and pressure, followed by hydrogenation to produce a high-grade, clean fuel suitable for use in transport. Moreover, the obtained liquid fuel tends to be ultra-clean, sulfur-free, low in particulates, causes low CO2, oxides, and nitrogen emissions through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

Abundant availability of coal, deteriorating levels of petroleum reservoirs, increased awareness about the technical expertise related to the conversion process among industrialists, and growth of transportation sector in developing nations, such as India and China, drive the coal to liquid fuel market. As synthetic fuels obtained from the conversion of coal are cleaner (eco-friendly) than those extracted from natural reservoirs, the demand for coal liquefaction has increased, owing to wide support from regulatory authorities worldwide.

However, the conversion process of coal to liquid fuel is expensive and feasible economically when crude oil prices rise up, which in turn hinders the key players to manufacture at the industrial scale, which is expected to restrain the market growth. Furthermore growth in worldwide energy demand, high commodity prices, and high economic growth in developing countries present opportunities for market growth.
