Chasing the Dream of Half-Price Gasoline from Natural Gas

Why It MattersThe world depends almost exclusively on oil for chemicals and liquid fuels.

At a pilot plant in Menlo Park, California, a technician pours white pellets into a steel tube and then taps it with a wrench to make sure they settle together. He closes the tube, and oxy-gen and methane—the main ingredient of natural gas—flow in. Seconds later, water and ethylene, the world’s largest com-modity chemical, flow out. Another simple step converts the ethylene into gasoline.The white pellets are a catalyst developed by the Silicon Val-ley startup Siluria, which has raised $63.5 million in venture capital. If the catalysts work as well in a large, commercial scale plant as they do in tests, Siluria says, the company could produce gasoline from natural gas at about half the cost of making it from crude oil—at least at today’s cheap natural-gas prices.If Siluria really can make cheap gasoline from natural gas, it will have achieved something that has eluded the world’s top chemists and oil and gas companies for decades. Indeed, find-ing an inexpensive and direct way to upgrade natural gas into more valuable and useful chemicals and fuels could finally mean a cheap replacement for petroleum. Natural gas burns much more cleanly than oil—power plants that burn oil emit 50 percent more carbon dioxide than natu-ral gas ones. It is also between two and six times more abun-

dant than oil, and its price

has fallen dramatically now that technologies like fracking and horizontal drilling have led to a surge of production from uncon-ventional sources like the

Marcellus Shale. While oil costs around $100 a barrel, natural gas sells in the U.S. for the equivalent of $20 a barrel.But until now oil has maintained a crucial advantage: natural gas is much more difficult to convert into chemicals such as

those used to make plastics. And it is relatively expensive to convert natural gas into liquid fuels such as gasoline. It cost Shell $19 billion to build a massive gas-to-liquids plant in Qatar, where natural gas is almost free. The South African energy and chemicals company Sasol is considering a gas-to-liquids plant in Louisiana that it says will cost between $11 billion and $14 billion. Altogether, such plants produce only about 400,000 barrels of liquid fuels and chemicals a day, which is less than half of 1 percent of the 90 million barrels of oil produced daily around the world.

The costs are so high largely because the process is complex and consumes a lot of energy. First high temperatures are required to break methane down into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, creating what is called syngas. The syngas is then subjected to catalytic reactions that turn it into a mixture of hydrocar-bons that is costly to refine and separate into products.

For years, chemists have been searching for catalysts that would simplify the process, skipping the syngas step and instead converting methane directly into a specific, desired chemical. Such a process wouldn’t require costly refining and separation steps, and it might consume less energy. But the chemistry is difficult—so much so that some of the world’s top petroleum companies gave up on the idea in the 1980s.Siluria thinks it can succeed where others have failed not because it understands the chemistry better, but because it has developed new tools for making and screening potential catalysts. Traditionally, chemists have developed catalysts by analyzing how they work and calculating what combination of elements might improve them. Siluria’s basic philosophy is to try out a huge number of catalysts in the hope of getting lucky. The company built an automated system—it looks like a mess of steel and plastic tubes, mass spectrometers, small stainless steel furnaces, and data cables—that can quickly synthesize hundreds of different catalysts at a time and then test how well they convert methane into ethylene.

A startup called Siluria thinks it’s solved a mystery that has stymied huge oil companies for decades. •ByKevinBullisonJanuary15,2014

News article from North Central PAPresident Obama Touts Shale-Fueled Growth in Manufacturing

President Obama traveled to the Marcellus Shale region and spoke at the U.S. Steel Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, just outside of Pittsburgh. The president touted the resurgence of manufacturing jobs in the area, which has been fueled by abundant natural gas production. Mario Langhi, President and CEO of U.S. Steel Corporation, introduced President Obama and provided some much-needed context into how the steel manufactured there is used in our daily lives.More specifically, the steel made at this facility is being used to manufacture pipelines needed to bring natural gas to our homes. And while the steel industry manufactures and provides pipelines, the natural gas industry has supplied steel plants like Irvin with cheap natural gas, which keeps production costs down. “Steel made at our Mon Valley area locations by our more than 3,000 employees is transformed into objects which are essential to modern society,” Langhi said. “Items like cars and trucks, household appliances, industrial equip-ment, parts for jewelry, watches, computers, and robotics.”Langhi also added, “Every steel manufacturing job creates seven jobs in the U.S. economy.”These plants are not only providing high-paying jobs to hardworking Americans, but they also supply other indus-tries with the necessary materials needed to do their jobs — from fertilizer plants in the Dakotas to steel industries located right here in southwestern Pennsylvania. Natural gas is fueling these facilities and making it economically viable for companies to invest in America. As President Obama stated during his speech at U.S. Steel: “Business leaders are starting to realize that China is

no longer the best place to invest and create jobs, America is.”Thanks in no small part to increased natural gas production and availability, companies are now moving to the United States, and we’re also seeing a considerable amount of re-shoring here in America. President Obama noted that this reinvestment in America “is creating a manufacturing renais-sance, resulting in the lowest employment rate in five years.” He added: “This company helped build America and over 100 years later we’re still at it. It’s manufacturing the pipes to trans-port cleaner burning natural gas and the production of light weight alloy used to make fuel efficient cars. You’re part of the rebound of the great American steel industry. Businesses like U.S. Steel have created eight million new jobs over the past four years.”President Obama went on to say that for the first time since the 1990s, manufacturing is adding jobs, not losing them. Natural gas production and end use have not only cut air emissions and helped reduce CO2 levels to what they were in the mid ’90s, but it has also created hundreds of thousands of new jobs. Now with the manufacturing industry hav-ing easy access to cheap and abundant natural gas, a proud American industry once again has the ability to expand and create more well-paying jobs. The Pennsylvania State Energy Plan estimated that, “by 2020, shale gas development will contribute nearly $14 billion in economic activity to Pennsylvania and generate $5.6 billion in federal, state and local taxes.” With Presi-dent Obama backing this industry and all the jobs it creates, manufacturing will have the continued opportunity to grow not only here in southwest Pennsylvania, but all across the county.BYFEED:ENERGYINDEPTHMARCELLUSINGASINDUSTRYJANUARY30,2014

Business Update

If any of your clients have signed aMarcellus Shale agreement – or plan to do so in the near future – they may have questions as they begin to manage the complexmatters associated with their newfoundfinancial resources. Without question, high on the list is to re-

evaluate their goals and determine if they prefer to work with an investment professional to build a well diversified invest-ment portfolio that will help them to achieve their financial objectives. The proceeds from a Marcellus Shale transaction may provide them with the flexibility to achieve their current goals earlier than expected, including retirement or a second home. Whatever the goals may be, an investment professional can help them as they work to identify changes to their cash flow needs, invest their funds to meet those needs, address their goals, and manage risk. Landowners may seek to find the proper balance between what can enjoy today – and what they may want to preserve for future financial security. Some examples of things to consider:

• Protection of assets from creditors • Updating retirement and/or education plans• Reducing taxes by using financial planning techniques• Developing trusts, where appropriate, to help preserve wealth for future generations• Managing the ultimate transfer of wealth to beneficiaries At PNC Wealth Management, we have a team of special-ists who can work with you and your clients, and assist you in making smart decisions about your clients’ specific financial issues.

LifeStyle

Happy 2014!!! As the New Year begins, I find myself, as we all do, making New Year resolutions that are both personal and business oriented. I shall not bore you with my personal goals, but I shall share with you my number one business goal which is to grow Lifestyles. In my last editorial, I mentioned that this section will be a work in progress. Having been in business all of my life and growing up with family members that have been business owners, I realize that money only stretches so far and that, if you are a smart business owner, you pick your

poison. However, in order to thrust this section to the level that I would like to see for our spring issue, I do need your help. Since the third edition of Lifestyle will be our spring issue, I would like to concentrate on fashion and beauty for men and women, arts and entertainment and health and wellness. Of course, education and general business will always be included within the section.

We are very fortunate that Pittsburgh is not only a fashion oriented city, but also has much to offer with our excellent and varied performing art programs. In the style ofPittsburgh, we also have those establishments that can teach those various skills that help to channel the talent that is needed. In addition, we are flooded with many outstanding preschool and private educational establishments that many people are not aware exist. Since the chamber’s number one goal is to introduce business owners to other business owners, I would like to let Lifestyles help with that process.Therefore, if any of you have any suggestions concerning businesses or educational institutions that I might contact, have any connections within any of these organizations, or would like to write an article and/or advertise, please reach out to me. I can be reached at [email protected] or724-873-7777 Ext.5. Finally, please plan to attend our monthly networking lunch. It will give you an opportunity to say hello not only to me, but also to a room full of smart-minded business owners who also want to grow their business. I can promise you that it will be money well spent.

Happy Reading,Rita Yunker

LifeStyle: Health

This is an all too commonconversation I have with colleagues, friends and even family. I’m not quite sure what I find more troubling - that our society has come to accept the pain associated with ‘a little arthritis’ as something not worth addressing or that far too many people think chiropractic care is only for folks with a backache! For over a century, doctors of

chiropractic have successfully helped millions ofindividuals recover from spine-related health problems but there is so much more to the story… The human body possesses a natural ability to restore itself; it relies on a healthy nervous system to do this. Life’s events such as auto accidents, injuries, repetitive work, and home stress are just some of the factors that can overwhelm the body’s ability to adapt. Joints can lock up and result in irritation and/or pressure on the nerves. Chiropractic care assists the body by correcting these structural defects (or subluxations), and restoring the body to its optimal form and function. So, how do I know if I have a subluxation?

Unfortunately, you don’t. What you feel is a symptom – pain, tenderness, swelling, tingling, numbness or spasms in the area of the back, neck, hips or extremities. Symptoms, which can be labeled as arthritis, headache, carpal tunnel, sciatica…all respond to chiropractic care. Let’s discuss what is commonly known as arthritis. As we age, many of us start to feel pain in certain joints. A doctor might make the broad diagnosis of arthritis, an inflammation of the joint that causes pain and stiffness. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis, which occurs when thecartilage between the bones in the joint breaks down, causing pain as the bones grind against one another. Other common types of arthritis include rheumatoid, gout, lupus, andscleroderma. Depending on the type and severity of thecondition, physical therapy and different combinations of drugs are often prescribed to relieve pain and reduceswelling. Chiropractic care may be helpful in reducing pain and lack of mobility in arthritic patients. Lack of movement reduces the use of the joint and decreases range of motion, which

The system works by varying both what catalysts are made of—the combinations and ratios of various elements—and their microscopic structure. Siluria was founded based on the work of Angela Belcher, a professor of biological engineer-ing at MIT who developed viruses that can assemble atoms of inorganic materials into precise shapes. Siluria uses this and other methods to form nanowires from the materials that make up its catalysts. Sometimes the shape of a nanowire changes the way the catalyst interacts with gases such as methane—and this can transform a useless combination ofelements into an effective one. “How you build up thestructure of the catalyst matters as much as its composition,” says Erik Scher, Siluria’s vice president of research and de-velopment.

The process of making and testing catalysts isn’t completely random—Siluria has the work of earlier chemists to guide it, and it has developed software that sorts out the most efficient way to screen a wide variety of possibilities. The result is that what used to take chemists a year Siluria can now do in a couple of days, Scher says. “We’ve made and screened over 50,000 catalysts at last count,” he says. “And I haven’t been counting in a while.” Nonetheless, some seasoned chemists are skeptical that Siluria can succeed. Siluria’s process is a version of one that chemists pursued in the 1970s and 1980s known as oxidative coupling, which involves reacting methane with oxygen. The problem with this approach is that it’s hard to get the reac-tion to stop at ethylene and not keep going to make carbon

dioxide and water. “The reaction conditions you need to convert methane to ethylene do at least as good a job, if not better, of converting ethylene into carbon dioxide, which is useless,” says Jay Labinger, a chemist at the Beckman Institute at Caltech. In the late 1980s, Labin-ger wrote a paper that warned researchers not to waste their time working on the process. And history seems to have borne him out. The process “hasn’t been, and doesn’t appear at all likely to be” an economically vi-able one, he says. Yet in spite of the challengingchemistry, Siluria says the performance of itscatalysts at its pilot plant have justified building two larger demonstration plants—one across San Francisco Bay in Hayward, California, that will make gasoline, and one in Houston that will only make ethylene. The plants are designed to prove to investors that the technology can work at a commercial scale, and that the process can be plugged into existing refineries and chemical plants, keeping down capital costs. The com-pany hopes to open its first commercial plants within four years. Siluria can’t tell you exactly how it’s solved the problem that stymied chemists for decades—if indeed it has. Because of the nature of its throw-every-thing-at-the-wall approach, it doesn’t know precisely how its new catalyst works. All it knows is that the process appears to work. The hope for finding more valuable uses for natural gas—and making natural gas a large-scale alternative to oil—doesn’t rest on Siluria alone. The abundance of cheap natural gas has fueled a number of startups with other approaches. Given the challenges that such efforts have faced, there’s good reason to be skeptical that they will succeed, says David Victor, director of the Labora-tory on International Law and Regulation at the Uni-versity of California at San Diego. But should some of them break through, he says, “that would be seismic.”

Business Update

Energy Contractor Expands in Pittsburgh Ref-Chem, L.P., an Odessa, Texas-based company with offices in downtown Pittsburgh, is seeking additional space to accommodate a planned expansion here, a company official said Wednesday. The industrial contractor came to Pennsylvania to tap into the Marcellus and Utica Shale drilling and began ramping up its local operation in 2012. “Many of our existing clients, in-cluding upstream and midstream companies, have operations in Pennsylvania and neighboring states,” said Billy Hinton, Ref-Chem’s manager of business development. “We have been assisting clients in Pennsylvania for some time now. Adding this office demonstrates our desire to remain quickly and easily accessible to our clients,” Hinton added. Last June, Ref-Chem began leasing office space inPittsburgh’s Gulf Tower. At the same time, their chairman, Harvey Page, announced the completion of a three-story, 40,000 square foot office in Houston, Texas. The Houston office combines three of Ref-Chem’s previous locations into one large complex, bringing together Ref-Chem’s engineer-ing and construction groups.Expanding operations into Pennsylvania and following the

upswing in construction activity is typical for the privately-owned firm, which is active in most of the major shale plays across the country. Company-wide, Ref-Chem employs more than 1,000 workers in its three offices and will continue to recruit locally as the Pittsburgh office shifts into a larger space. Miles Smith, a vice president with CBRE’s Pittsburgh office, is assist-ing Ref-Chem with a property search to accommodate the company’s equipment storage needs, fabrication, and other support services. Physically expanding is a sign of thegrowing need for experienced industrial companies in the local shale market as well as the company’s sales volume, which has more than doubled since 2010. “The increasing demand for EPC and specialty contractors in this region as well as natural gas infrastructure being in the genesis of development have made this a great market for us,” said Bruce Stewart, NE Area Manager of Ref-Chem.Stewart added, “We look forward to serving new and current customers with even greater resources and personnel during 2014.”
