Shell is already selling GTL diesel in Germany. It is their "high performance" diesel because the FT reaction is providing a nicely controlled distribution of linear paraffines. So, they boost their normal diesel with a bit of GTL produced diesel.
- ComputerGuru 4y agoDo you know what the cetane number for both the original GTL diesel and the blended mix they sell are? (Trying to quantify the performance claim - not that cetane alone does that, of course.)
- Loic 4y agoThe wikipedia page about the cetane number is giving the answer[0]: 63 (GTL) vs. minimum of 51. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_number#Typical_values https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_number#Typical_values
