Anybody got an idea how this impacts the carbon issue? I would assume gasoline would release the same carbon whether it was made from NG or oil.

Natual gas is C1..... Gasoline is complex blend generally C5 through C12. NG has a general combustion of 1030 btu/scf, and if my memory serves correctly (and with liquid to gas conversion) gasoline has significantly less latent heat of combustion, ie therefore many more carbon atoms needed to get the same result.

But also remember.... 99+% of vehicles in the US do not run on NG. And from my persepctive, I am not too hip on having a NG cylinder strapped to my vehicle.

If the technology is truly there to cost effectively convert NG to gasoline..... this will be a true game changer.

If it can be produced from a heat source of the bio-mass/gasification process that uses bio-mass or garbage then it would be carbon neutral to make the environmental wackos happy.
