CARE-FUEL LAB

Prof. Nimir Elbashir's research team's vision is to establish a world-class research base that leverages local and global collaborations in order to build a state-of-the-art center of excellence in gas processing, petrochemicals and catalysis areas. Qatar has vast natural gas reserves, as well as significant reserves of petroleum and it hosts the most advanced existing plants and refineries in gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology; liquefied natural gas (LNG) as well as several chemical and petrochemical plants. The team takes full advantage of this unique environment and has paved the way to build a global center of research excellence in advancement of GTL processes and natural gas processing at large... One major accomplishment in the GTL area involves the creation of the Texas A&M Fuel Characterization Lab (FCL). This is one of the most advanced regional labs in this field. It is playing a critical role in supporting the formulation and marketing of synthetic fuels and chemicals that..
