I’ve heard talk about a gas to liquid project but I don’t really understand what that means. Could you explain it?

I do not know of a new gas to liquid project in the US.

There is a long running pilot plant in Alaska that converts natural gas to liquids for shipment to Japan, but it is rather small and the process was never used for any other larger facilities.

Shell has come up with a process to make diesel, kerosene and naphtha from Natural Gas. They have built their second facility using this process in Qatar. Note that naphtha is a significant component of gasoline.

They still need better economics to make this pay in the US.

We're currently exporting liquefied natural gas. One of the new pipeline will move natural gas to the East coast for export. Other countries want LNG.
