We hold a non-exclusive master license entitling us to use Syntroleum's proprietary GTL process in an unlimited number of projects with no limit on production volume. In the patented Syntroleum process, natural gas is mixed with compressed air and steam to produce a synthetic gas. Then, through a catalytic reaction, the gas is converted to a range of ultra-clean synthetic oils that can be further refined to produce transportation fuels and hydrocarbon products. Potentially valuable by-products include heat, which can be used to produce electricity, and agricultural-grade water. The Syntroleum process is a cost-effective refinement of GTL technology that has been in use for generations. A major advantage is that the process uses compressed air instead of pure oxygen to facilitate the conversion reaction, substantially reducing the capital costs and vastly improving the safety of the process plants.
