✦ Synopsis

Recent developments in Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) technology are reviewed in this paper. These, together with optimization of the integration of F-T technology with natural gas reforming, have considerably reduced the capital and operating costs associated with the production of liquid fuels from natural gas. The possible coproduction of chemicals is also discussed.
