Applications

^{* Ranges are used to account for the fact that benefits may vary from engines of different sizes, powers, manufacturers etc. This range is not exact: It represents the maximum variation is results observed in scientific experiments which compared emissions from Shell GTL Fuel with conventional diesel. These trials were conducted by both Shell laboratories and a variety of independent organisations: On-road data was gathered both from Shell in-house laboratories and in partnership with independent test partners including AVL, TNO, Millbrook UK, NREL USA, among others. Off-Road data was gathered from customers who performed their own independent tests and shared their detailed results with Shell. Marine data was gathered by external test houses like SGS NL BV investigating vessels sailing on GTL, and from independent tests by marine engine manufacturers. Some more details of these tests can be found at the end of this paper.}
