Coal to Liquid Fuel (CTL) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast (2012 - 2018)

Coal to Liquid Fuel (CTL) Market
Coal can be converted into liquid fuel by the process of coal liquefaction. There are two methods used (direct and indirect liquefaction) for obtaining liquid fuels from coal. The major objective of coal liquefaction is to produce synthetic oil to supplement the natural sources of petroleum. Liquid fuel made from coal is cleaner and cheaper than existing synthetic fuels. 


Large quantities of coal reserves and good technological knowhow related to this market and process are boosting the growth of this market. In addition to these factors, stringent regulations related to emissions followed by many countries, and high oil prices and demand are enhancing the market for coal made fuel. The initial investment and the operational cost related to coal liquefaction is very high which is hindering the growth of this market. 

China, USA, Australia, India, South Africa, and Russia are the major coal producing countries. The market for coal to liquid fuel is expected to increase due to the growth in the transportation sector in developing countries such as China and India and also due to the strict regulations imposed by several governments in both developed and developing regions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing petroleum as a fuel. 

Coal to liquid fuel can be obtained by using two methods -direct and indirect liquefaction. Fuels produced from coal are at presently used primarily in the transportation sector but have great potential to be used as cooking fuel. Dimethyl ether (DME) which is derived from coal holds great promise to be used as domestic fuel in place of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as it is non-toxic and non-carcinogenic to handle and generates less hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide than LPG. Some of the major companies which deal in liquid fuel derived from coal include Sasol, Shenhua, Bumi plc, Linc Energy, Monash Energy, and DKRW Energy.
