Energy Security Partners is a developer of clean energy and digital infrastructure, including world class gas-to-liquids (GTL) facilities and hyperscale data center campuses. ESP's first GTL plant will be located at its 2,800-acre Energy Transition Park near Little Rock, Arkansas and operated by ESP's subsidiary GTL Americas. This 41,400 barrel per day plant will convert natural gas into ultra-clean synthetic diesel and jet fuel along with naphtha. GTL fuels deliver substantially lower CO2 and other harmful emissions compared to the petroleum-based diesel and jet fuels that they replace, with significant performance advantages and seamless integration into existing infrastructure. GTL fuels enable meaningful de-carbonization for commercial transportation sectors such as Trucking, Aviation, Shipping, Construction, Agriculture and the Military for which the transition to alternative propulsion systems will require several decades.
