Methanol – CH3OH – is four parts hydrogen, one part oxygen and one part carbon.
On an industrial scale, methanol is predominantly produced from
natural gas by reforming the gas with steam and then converting and distilling
the resulting synthesized gas mixture to create pure methanol. The result is a
clear, liquid, organic chemical that is water soluble and readily
biodegradable.
Methanol can be produced
from natural gas, coal and renewable sources such as municipal waste, biomass
and recycled carbon dioxide.
