The DeWalch family has a long association with the energy industry through an affiliation with a diversified mineral and royalty company.

This company’s dominant position in the Haynesville shale formation and DeWalch’s historical connection to the oil and gas industry provided unique insight into the future abundance of natural gas. With knowledge gained in research of biofuels and the catalytic conversion of biomass to liquid fuels, DeWalch has embarked upon a project to convert abundant and cheap natural gas into higher-value synthetic liquid fuels.

DeWalch now has a full staff of personnel devoted to the development and commercialization of the proprietary techniques and equipment for this initiative. Small scale prototype processing equipment is under construction and being commissioned for initial trials, and full scale production is planned for the near future.
