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.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.

Yes, but also plenty of heat for an expander or some other use of the “waste heat.”
Keep in mind this is talking about a different process.

Would garbage incinerators produce the same amount of heat ?
What about bio-mass incinerators ? bio-mass power plants ?
Wood pellet power plants ?
In one of those western states there is a woman CEO that claims that their bio-mass/garbage incinerator that operates on the gasification process can produce high grade " Racing Fuels " for race cars... would it not also be able to produce high grade jet fuels also ?
