Abstract

The unique experience of Germany in the development over a short time period of the industry for manufacturing synthetic motor fuels via the Fischer-Tropsch method has been analyzed. The data discussed can serve as a reference point for current researchers in the field of hydrocarbon synthesis from carbon monoxide and hydrogen when designing new engineering solutions for the process.
