Make Gasoline Directly from Natural Gas!

Do you know gasoline can be made from abundant, domestic Natural Gas? Do you know making Natural Gas into Gasoline is American technology which is being provided to the rich Oil Sheiks instead of being fully implemented here in America? Do you know if Gasoline were made from Natural Gas, you would be paying less than $2 per gallon?

(NO NEED to convert existing cars and trucks or build infrastructure! And yes Natural Gas can be made into diesel too!)

If all this makes you angry, then contact your congressman today and ask them why Natural Gas to Gasoline is not top priority! Show him these links:

How can Congress Help? The Federal Government can fund the emergency building of Natural Gas to Gasoline refineries, since energy is a national security and military defense issue. Once operational the U.S. Government can sell off these valuable refineries to the highest AMERICAN bidder. (To those purists who don't want the government doing any business, remember that the government ownership is temporary and a matter of national security. This is the same methods and procedures use by the government during World War 2 when building synthetic rubber factories nationwide.)

This has been known for a long time. In 1985 Mobil created a natural gas to gasoline plant in New Zealand. The price of oil dropped, so it was no longer profitable to operate. When ever oil is above $40 per barrel and natural gas is below 40 cents per therm, it is profitable. Natural gas in now below 20 cents per therm wholesale and oil is above $100 per barrel, so it is very profitable.

There are several techniques, but the one I favor can be done on a smaller scale at a lower initial capital investment. Natural gas in turned into synthesis gas (CO and H2) then DME is synthesized from the synthesis gas. Gasoline is then synthesized from the DME using catalysts.

It produces gasoline that is cleaner than the refined product, can be blended with refined product as well. By the way, the same process can be used to synthesize diesel and jet fuel as well. Over time biomass can be used to create the synthesis gas instead of using natural gas. We could be making synthetic gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from corn stalks and prairie grass.

A down side is oil producers still hold the keys. I am not in anyway an expert on the topic. I can tell you the down side to this. The oil producers lets say opec will be battling for their lives to keep controle of the dollars. They can and would most likely drop the price of oil to the bottom and leave it there for a few years. in doing so they will make this process to expensive opperate. The factory will shut down and the price of of oil will once again go back up. it is done in my industry all the time. If a competitor comes in the big boys will go to the bottom on price and stay there until they drive them out. Goes back to the old saying he who has the cash makes the rules. I am guessing it would be better to change the whole game and make cars and trucks that can use cng or gas or other fuels.
