By-Products

Numerous by-products are produced at our synthetic fuels and chemicals facilities from the various equipment used during the production process. But unlike a conventional coal power plant which emits impurities into the air, these by-products are sold to industrial markets and generate revenue in addition to the sale of synthetic fuels and chemicals at the facilities. Below is a summary of by-products produced at a typical synthetic fuels and chemicals facility and their respective industrial markets.
