Gas to methanol. Natural gas is the feedstock used in most of the worldâs production of methanol. Methanol is a primary liquid petrochemical made from renewable and nonrenewable fossil fuels containing carbon and hydrogen. Containing one carbon atom, methanol is the simplest alcohol. It is a colorless, tasteless liquid and is commonly known as âwood alcohol.â. Stranded gas can be monetized by producing chemical (or fuel grade) methanol and transporting it to the market.
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha, methyl hydrate, or wood spirits, is a chemical with the formula C H 3 O H (often abbreviated MeOH).Methanol acquired the name wood alcohol because it was once produced chiefly as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood.owever, unlike ethanol, methanol is highly toxic and unfit for consumption. At room temperature, it is a polar liquid, and is used as an antifreeze, solvent, fuel, and as a denaturant for ethanol. It is also used for producing biodiesel via transesterification reaction.
