  2. Methanol economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_economy

    Trinidad and Tobago is the world's largest methanol producer, with exports mainly to the United States. [18] The feedstock for the production of methanol comes natural gas. The conventional route to methanol from methane passes through syngas generation by steam reforming combined (or not) with partial oxidation. Alternative ways to convert ...

  4. Methanol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_fuel

    Methanol fuel is an alternative biofuel for internal combustion and other engines, either in combination with gasoline or independently. Methanol (CH 3 OH) is less expensive to sustainably produce than ethanol fuel, although it is more toxic than ethanol and has a lower energy density than gasoline.

  5. Methanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol

    Methanol is primarily converted to formaldehyde, which is widely used in many areas, especially polymers. The conversion entails oxidation: 2 CH 3 OH + O 2 → 2 CH 2 O + 2 H 2 O. Acetic acid can be produced from methanol. The Cativa process converts methanol into acetic acid. [35] Methanol and isobutene are combined to give methyl tert-butyl ...

    This led to ICI building the world's first Low Pressure methanol at Billingham in 1966, in a plant making 600 tonnes per day of methanol at only 50 bar and using hydrogen from the old steam reformer plants (which were no longer needed for ammonia production). A second and larger methanol plant was built in 1971. The methanol technology was ...
