Methanol

A Basic Overview Of Fuel Cell Technology

By John on January 24, 2010

Are you tired of high priced gasoline for your car? Or perhaps worried about the environment? For years, scientists have being working on an energy alternative that holds promises to change the way we live by changing the source of fuel for some of our most basic energy-using engines. This new technology in progress is [...]

IBN Researchers First to Transform Carbon Dioxide into Methanol

By John on April 23, 2009

Scientists at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have succeeded in unlocking the potential of carbon dioxide – a common greenhouse gas – by converting it into a more useful product. Using organocatalysts, the IBN researchers activated carbon dioxide in a mild and non-toxic process to produce methanol, a widely used industrial feedstock and [...]

Methanol as an Alternative Fuel

By John on August 15, 2008

Methanol (CH3OH), also known as wood alcohol, is considered an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Methanol is basically methane with its hydrogen molecule replaced by a hydroxyl radical (OH).
Although a variety of feedstocks can be used to create methanol, today’s economics favour the use of natural gas. The methanol is then [...]
