GTL transportation fuel is cleaner burning than conventional diesel with a roughly comparable, and potentially lower, greenhouse gas profile, Sasol says. GTL fuels are virtually free of sulfur and aromatic compounds and reduce emissions of particulates, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and other pollutants and will improve air quality.

A bit more processing, grinding, and mixing turns those pellets into powdered Portland cement, which accounts for about 90 percent of the CO 2 emitted by the production of conventional concrete [see infographic, “Roads to Cleaner Concrete”]. As a result, calcined clay plants have popped up across Africa, Europe, and Latin America.
