In 2023, the worldwide coal-to-liquids market was estimated to be worth $3.89 billion. The CTL market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast period. The major element responsible for the introduction of CTL technology is the increasing reliance on natural gas and crude oil for the generation of transportation fuels, with stagnating or slowly falling reserves as per the current industrial scenario. Demand for the CTL process is expected to rise as a result of the anticipated increase in the price of processing crude oil or natural gas.
To produce energy, coal is a crucial fuel used around the world, whereas petroleum fuels are widely used in cars. Since carbon is a primary component of both coal and petroleum fuels, the transition from coal to liquid fuel is more practical. Coal liquefaction, also known as coal-to-liquid (CTL) technology, is the process through which coal is converted into a liquid fuel. The byproduct of this procedure is a high-quality, environmentally friendly gasoline liquid. There are a number of upsides to liquefying coal. Liquifying coal to create energy is cheaper than other methods. Coal has fewer logistical and infrastructure requirements when compared to other fossil fuels like oil and gas.
The global coal to liquid (CTL) market may be broken down into two distinct subsegments: direct coal liquefaction and indirect coal liquefaction. The most common method of liquefaction is the indirect processing of coal. This method results in fuels with high value and low environmental impact. This method allows for the production of synthetic gasoline that may be utilised in existing engines with no adjustments, resulting in better combustion and less pollutants. During the foreseen time period, the direct coal liquefaction technique is also expected to make a major contribution. High-velocity bituminous coals, low-cash sub-bituminous coals, and low-cash lignites are all viable inputs for this process.
Power plants that use cutting-edge technologies like fuel cells and combined cycles will need to transform coal into clean gaseous or liquid fuels. It is expected that the market share of liquid products made from syngas would grow in the next years. Methanol and other higher hydrocarbons and oxygenates can now be manufactured because to the ready availability of sophisticated and process-specific catalysts. Future emphasis is likely to increase on fuel products developed from synthesis gas. These compounds have multiple uses, including in the production of commodity chemicals and as fuels for vehicles.
They are also useful for making additional fuel for IGCC power plants that can be stored. The Fischer Tropsch process is the gold standard for coal synthesis and is employed by nearly every company in the business. It can convert syngas into a variety of products, including paraffin waxes, hydrocarbon gases, and oxygenates, because to its high reaction and polymerization efficiencies. Many CTL plants make extensive use of Direct Coal Liquefaction (DCL) for a variety of purposes. Products from this method can be refined to conform to the vast majority of today's standards for motor fuels.
Butane, gasoline, propane, and diesel fuel are just a few of the most common outputs. The lower gasified coal consumption of this method results in an additional 5-10% efficiency gain above that of Indirect Coal Liquefaction (ICL). The National Petroleum Council had provided multiple scenarios with the production estimate, making it clear that the current CTL projects can only address the peak oil problem in a limited way. Over the next few years, the industry will need to be commercially developed in terms of coal supply, plant construction, and the prompt commissioning of previously planned but postponed or cancelled projects.
