Linc Energy Produces First Liquids From Chinchilla GTL Facility

Linc Energy has produced the first hydrocarbon liquids from its Chinchilla gas-to-liquid demonstration facility in Australia.

Over the coming months, Linc Energy will continue to operate its gas-to-liquid (GTL) demonstration facility and use the experience gained to assist with finalizing the engineering scope for the company’s proposed 20,000 barrels per day commercial facility that is planned for commencement of construction in the next 12 months.

Peter Bond, CEO of Linc Energy, said: “Linc Energy has now proven that it can produce liquid fuels from underground coal gasification gas. This process provides the potential for billions of tonnes of stranded coal resources to be converted into transport fuels in an environmentally acceptable way.”
