“The start of GTL plant production will help to significantly decrease Uzbekistan’s import of diesel and jet fuel,” Uzbekneftegaz said in a statement sent in response to a Reuters request.
The plant would refine 3.6 billion cubic meters of gas a year and produce about 1.5 million tonnes of fuel, it said.
Uzbekneftegaz GTL plans to produce annually about 307,000 of jet fuel, 724,000 of synthetic diesel, 437,000 tonnes of synthetic naphtha and 53,000 tonnes of LPG, it said.
