| In addition to natural gas, the Great Plains Synfuels Plant produces numerous products from the coal gasification process that have added great diversity to the plants's output. These products include ammonium sulfate and anhydrous ammonia which are fertilizers that supply valuable nitrogen and sulfur nutrients for agricultural crops. Other products include phenol for the production of resins in the plywood industry, cresylic acid for the chemical industry, liquid nitrogen for refrigeration and oil field services, methanol for solvents, naphtha for gasoline blend stocks, and krypton and xenon gases for the nation's lighting industry. For more information on the individual products, please refer to the list below or contact Sales and Marketing.
