Historically, Fischer-Tropsch GTL plants were subsidized by governments desiring an internal source of liquid fuels. Fischer-Tropsch GTL plants are huge in order to achieve economical operation. Exorbitant capital costs present a barrier to many who are interested in GTL. Only about 200 of the 15,000 gas fields outside North America are big enough to support a Fischer-Tropsch GTL plant.
