  2. Methanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol

    Methanol and its vapours are flammable. Moderately toxic for small animals – Highly toxic to large animals and humans (in high concentrations) – May be fatal/lethal or cause blindness and damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart if swallowed – Toxicity effects from repeated over exposure have an accumulative effect on the central nervous system, especially the optic nerve – Symptoms may ...

  3. Timeline of alcohol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_alcohol_fuel

    Some 89 million liters of methanol were produced from coal, while other synthetic fuels included 550 million liters of benzene and over one billion liters of synthetic gasoline. All told, 54% of the pre-war German fuel production was derived from non-petroleum sources, of which 8% was ethanol from renewable sources [28]

  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 economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_economy

    In large-scale renewable methanol is mainly produced of fermented biomass as well as municipal solid waste (bio-methanol) and of renewable electricity (e-methanol). [24] Production costs for renewable methanol currently are about 300 to US$1000/t for bio-methanol, about 800 to US$1600/t for e-methanol of carbon dioxide of renewable sources and ...

  6. Alcohol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_fuel

    A dish of ethanol aflame. Various alcohols are used as fuel for internal combustion engines.The first four aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol) are of interest as fuels because they can be synthesized chemically or biologically, and they have characteristics which allow them to be used in internal combustion engines.

    A.P. Møller – Maersk is putting more pieces of the puzzle in place to decarbonize its shipping fleet. Maersk Growth, a corporate venture arm of the company, on Wednesday invested in WasteFuel ...

  9. Biofuel in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofuel_in_the_United_States

    Production of methanol from synthesis gas using Biomass-To-Liquid can offer methanol production from biomass at efficiencies up to 75%. Widespread production by this route has a postulated potential (see Olah reference above) to offer methanol fuel at a low cost and with benefits to the environment.
