Sparty,
Your point is well made.

I would guestimate that Asian consumption of wax in Plasterboard, MDF and Particleboard would only be around 3000 barrels per day. This is not on the same scale as a UCG-GTL plant that can produce around 20,000 BOE per day. However I could see a wax plant being a very handy adjunct to a Coal to Oil plant. It may even be that 3000 barrels of wax would be more profitable than 20,000 barrels of oil. There certainly would be no concerns with carbon emissions or costs as wax is used a hydrophobe and so is not burned.

Australia could be the next WAX Saudi as well as the next OIL Saudi. Food for thought for the prospective Coal to Oil companies out there.
