Hydrogen factsheet: Fischer-Tropsch alternative fuels production

This factsheet explains how alternative and sustainable fuels are produced using the Fischer-Tropsch process.

It covers:

• The Fischer-Tropsch reaction, including the reactor types, catalysts, and thermal management involved
• Product upgrading and refining, including distillation, hydrotreating, cracking, and isomerisation to meet fuel specifications
• Feedstock options, process integration, and the role of economies of scale
• Storage, handling, and distribution of alternative fuels using existing fuel infrastructure
• Process safety, balance of plant, and the key standards, regulations, and codes of practice involved
• The components, materials, and systems required across the full production process
