Methanol, natural gas, and the development of alternative transportation fuels

Melvin L. Kliman

Energy, 1983, vol. 8, issue 11, 859-870

Abstract: The potential for methanol as a motor fuel, particularly when it is produced from natural gas, is examined. Diverse information related to methanol fuel development is gathered together and the process by which such a new fuel market would evolve is considered. It is concluded that methanol has the capacity to be a significant alternative fuel, but that the realization of that capacity is not yet imminent.
