Sasol’s venture may also end up as the largest single foreign investment project in U.S. history.</p> <p>Fed by gas harvested from the shale fields of Texas, the 3,034-acre energy complex—now breaking ground—will feature a $7 billion ethane cracker and a $14 billion <em><strong>gas to liquids plant</strong></em>. Operations are slated to begin in 2017 and once completed, the complex will produce 96,000 barrels of clean liquid fuels—primarily diesel—per day, and 1.5 million tons of ethylene annually. Ethylene is a key component in alcohol and plastics-based products such as polymers, solvents, and waxes. These chemical products go into everything from food packaging, bags, toys, detergents and lipstick, to motor oils, automotive interiors, and wire and cable coatings. Seventy percent of the plant’s output will be liquid fuels.</p> <hr> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a title="Texas Oil & Gas Investment Opportunities" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120/https://www.arescotx.com/oil-gas-interests-explored-pathways-to-profit/"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Info on Texas Oil & Gas Investment Opportunities</span></a></span></strong></span></p> <hr> <p><strong>Fracking Boom = Location, Location</strong><br/> Why Lake Charles? <strong>Sasol</strong> was drawn to its proximity to ample supplies of fracked natural gas and large energy markets. The area is also rich in pipeline networks and waterway channels along the Gulf Coast, allowing Sasol to easily ship its output via barge. The complex is poised to trigger a colossal industrialization wave, with some 66 projects worth $90 billion set to break ground in the area over the next 5 years.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120/https://www.arescotx.com/about-aresco/oil-investing-tax-shelter/"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-27520" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-1-1024x416.jpg" alt="Tax Deductible Investments - Reduce Your Overall Tax Burden" width="1024" height="416" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-1-1024x416.jpg 1024w, https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-1-300x122.jpg 300w, https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-1-768x312.jpg 768w, https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-1-1536x624.jpg 1536w, https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-1.jpg 1567w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"/></a></p> <p>Sasol’s expansive maze of pipes, storage tanks, refining towers, evaporators, and reactors will deploy a variation on the <em>Fischer-Tropsch</em> process. <a title="Fischer-Tropsch" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120/https://www.arescotx.com/tag/fischer-tropsch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fischer-Tropsch</a> is a technology developed by German scientists in the 1920s to convert coal and gas into usable liquid fuels.</p> <section class="sc_fs_faq sc_card "> <div> <h2>What is the Fischer-Tropsch Process?</h2> <div> <figure class="sc_fs_faq__figure"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/fischer-tropsch.jpg" title="Fischer Tropsch Process"> <img decoding="async" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20240803220120im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/fischer-tropsch.jpg" alt="Fischer Tropsch Process"/> </a> <meta content="https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/fischer-tropsch.jpg"> <meta content="545"> <meta content="328"> </figure> <p> The Fischer-Tropsch Process is a technology developed by German scientists Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch in the 1920s to convert coal & gas into usable liquids.
