First
Titan Corp. (OTCQB: FTTN) is closely examining possibilities in the
rapidly growing gas-to-liquids market, an up-and-coming energy sector
that offers strong potential as a fuel source free of the current
low-price problems now associated with crude oil.
Gas-to-liquids technology transforms
natural gas and biogas into energy and chemical products, including
transport fuels, base oils and more. The process was first tried in the
1920s, however only in recent years has the technology become efficient
enough to become economically viable for widespread industrial use.
“Gas-to-liquid plants were once the sole province of the multi-national
oil and gas giants,” said FTTN CEO Sydney Jim. “Facilities were expensive
and huge. Process advances have resulted in smaller,
more cost-effective plants and this has opened a window
of opportunity. We expect to find a strong market potential for
clean, environmentally friendly fuels made from natural gas and biogas
from landfills. We believe this will be a reliable, growing industry
going forward and because of low oil prices, offers us an alternative
revenue source.”
While the current oil price war continues, there’s no guarantee fuel
prices will remain low over time. Oil has seen wide swings in recent
years, ranging from the low $40s per barrel to more than $100 a barrel
and back to the $40s. Gas-to-liquids technology offers more predictable
long-range fuel prices.
“Gas-to-liquids systems can help governments, businesses and consumers
alike reduce fuel costs, set budgets and help the environment at the
same time. This winning combination will make gas-to liquids a solid,
long-term venture for FTTN,” Mr. Jim said.
