Abstract
JNOC-GTL process is an attractive measure to widely monetize even stranded gas reserves including around 40 mol% of CO_2,which are located far from an existing market and have been left undeveloped due to mainly the high-cost gas transportation methods such as a gas pipeline and LNG. The characteristics of JNOC-GTL process is capable of utilizing CO_2 contained in the natural gas and does not require any O_2 supply. This paper introduces the concept of JNOC-GTL process and the part of the result of Yufutsu GTL pilot plant test.
