The most common process for making liquid fuels from natural gas or coal, a process known as Fischer-Tropsch, needs temperatures on the order of 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Dineen won’t specify the temperature needed for Siluria’s process, but says it is far lower. It is also less complex, requiring less-specialized equipment.

A power producing gas turbine at say 25% efficiency can produce electricity from natural gas with copious exhaust gas at 900 DEGF.

Plenty of heat for a back end Fischer-Tropsch catalyst.
