Converting coal into liquid fuels is known to be more costly than current energy technologies, both in terms of production costs and the amount of greenhouse gases the process emits. Production of CTL has a large carbon footprint, releasing more than twice the lifecycle greenhouse gases of conventional petroleum fuels.

It is now widely accepted that anthropogenic CO 2 , due to its role as a greenhouse gas, is the major contributor to climate change. Post-fossil fuel alternative sources of carbon therefore need to be found to fulfill our needs for fuels, hydrocarbons, polymers, and other products presently derived mostly from petroleum oil and natural gas.
