Dar es Salaam. Tanzania is accelerating its efforts toward generating diesel and jet fuel using natural gas as investors are now moving ahead to conduct a feasibility study before building a processing plant.

Canadian company Rocky Mountain GTL, in collaboration with its African partner Memnon Africa and local associate Rithi Tanzania Group Limited, has initiated a feasibility study with the Tanzanian government for constructing a gas-to-liquid (GTL) plant.
