Turkmenistan – Recently, Topsoe announced the official opening of the world’s only natural gas-to-gasoline complex in Turkmenistan. The complex includes the world’s largest methanol plant based on autothermal reforming (ATR), using Topsoe’s Syncor Methanol solution, with methanol production capacity of 5225 MTPD.

In the Turkmen gas-to-gasoline complex, the Syncor Methanol solution has been combined with a gasoline synthesis loop to produce synthetic gasoline. This concept is named Syncor Tigas.
