Less refined fuels—such as heavy gas oil—would be less expensive; however, the higher levels of sulfur in the fuels could prove problematic for catalysts. One approach to overcoming such limitations is the use of direct reforming of gas oil (heavy hydrocarbons) over a heteroatom-resistant catalyst. Now, researchers in S.
