Both the Fischer-Tropsch reaction and the Mobil process enable one to convert synthesis gas into hydrocarbons. Since synthesis gas may be obtained from coal, we have in effect a means of converting coal to gasoline. Germany moved its Panzer Korps in World War II with synthetic fuels made from the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, and improved technological developments have enhanced the attractiveness of the process. South African Synthetic Oil Limited (SASOL) currently operates several modern Fischer-Tropsch plants. Many organometallic chemists refer to both the Fischer-Tropsch and Mobil processes as "political processes because they are heavily subsidized by countries that find it important to be independent of foreign oil. [Pg.882]
