Its role Owner
Rocky Mountain Clean Fuels Inc. is a privately held Canadian company that designs, constructs, and operates small-scale gas-to-liquids (GTL) facilities. It specializes in converting natural gas and natural gas liquids into synthetic paraffinic fuels using its patented Enhanced Gas to Liquids (EGTL™) technology, originally licensed from Expander Energy Inc. in 2017.
The company's main activities focus on producing drop-in synthetic diesel, naphtha, jet fuel (SynJet), and Fischer-Tropsch waxes with zero sulfur content, high cetane ratings, and lower emissions than conventional petroleum fuels. These products serve road, rail, marine, and aviation markets. The firm emphasizes modular, scalable designs suitable for monetizing stranded or underutilized gas resources while incorporating features like water recycling and waste-heat recovery.
Rocky Mountain Clean Fuels operates its flagship Carseland GTL facility near Carseland, Alberta (east of Calgary), which represents Canada's first commercial-scale small GTL plant. Production began in late 2024 following construction supported by provincial funding. The company is venture capital-backed with grants from the Government of Alberta and maintains a presence in the clean fuels and petrochemical sector.
It participates in joint ventures, including with Expander Energy Inc. to form Wheatland Synfuels Inc. for expanding the Carseland site into bio-synthetic fuel production via biomass-to-liquids processes, carbon capture, and hydrogen capabilities. This positions the company as an innovator in low-carbon synthetic fuels derived from both fossil and renewable feedstocks within Canada's energy transition landscape.
Also known as Rocky Mountain GTL Inc., Rocky Mountain GTL, and RMCFI.
