A Genuine GTL Development In Queensland ?  

With coal seam gas being all the rage up north I was unsurprised to see an ABC report today saying that a company is planning to build a (coal seam) gas to liquids plant (not a rebranded coal to liquids project like Linc's) - Big diesel plant earmarked for southern Qld.

Pacific GTL has announced plans to build a major diesel manufacturing plant in southern Queensland. Construction of the Sunstate project, between Chinchilla and Miles, could begin as early as next year, employing up to 1000 people.

Mayor Ray Brown says it will produce 17,000 barrels of diesel a day from coal seam methane gas. "It's a substantial industry to our region and the first of the value adding type industries," he says. "Their idea is to utilise that diesel within about a 200-kilometre radius of Miles and I think that's very good news."
