The shift towards renewable and sustainable energy sources necessitates a simultaneous transition to highly selective and active Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts, thus ensuring the optimal utilization of available syngas. The FT reactor conditions targeted for potential power-to-liquids (PtL) applicat...
