Kepler GTL provides a modular and scalable design allowing for faster expansion and portability. Allowing each facility to be expanded, contracted or relocated as source products diminish or economic conditions change.
Self-Sufficient | In addition to our modular design, our plants generate enough power to operate the facility and can provide excess power to the community. This can reduce the strain on the local electrical grid and operating costs.
Local Economy Wins
Local businesses and personnel benefit e.g. fabricators, construction and operations.
Unwanted coal in the area can be developed and delivered to a local facility at profitable prices.
No need for high cost, high risk, long distance transportation.
Modular solution can be built at reasonable cost in a short timeframe.
Area industry and economy gets a local supply of high-quality jet fuel or diesel, plus electricity.
This green facility could be used as a model in other areas, making this project a leader in green fuel production.
Environment Wins
Removal of harmful chemicals at the source.
Initial plant will repurpose ~3,000,000 tons of CO2 annually.
Trucking and stockpiling of area fuel supplies will be drastically reduced.
Environment Impact
From only one plant, we will remove ~1,700,000 to 3,000,000 tons of CO2 annually.
From our Green Jet & Diesel fuels, we produce ~38-50% less CO and ~88% less particulates.
Green Upside
Just from one plant alone, the reduction would be up to ~3,000,000 tons of CO2 annually.
When green jet fuel and diesel are burned, the output is essentially CO, CO2, and water.
All other harmful chemicals are eliminated in our process.
Green Jet Fuel and Diesel are even cleaner burning than Natural Gas.
