“The possibility of making natural gas a real alternative to petroleum is truly compelling in its potential to dramatically shift the economic and geopolitical paradigm of a world skewed by the supremacy of oil. Siluria’s technology offers a dramatic leap forward in realizing that possibility, and does so in a way that is designed to be readily
integrated into the existing operating framework of the petrochemical and gas industries.”
