Methanol can be produced from a range of renewable sources and fossil-fuel based feed-stocks; in practice methanol is mainly produced in coal-rich China from coal. Their results showed that in comparison with gasoline mode, CO emitted in methanol mode decreased 11.2%. These strategies are closely linked to the economy.

Large scale production of methanol from natural gas and coal is a well-developed. In comparison, they noted, the technology for bio-chemical ethanol production from cellulosic biomass is not sufficiently developed yet. Methanol first surfaced as a potentially interesting transportation fuel in the wake of the oil crisis in 1973.

Unlike other fossil fuels, natural gas plays a major role in most sectors of the modern economy—power generation, industrial, commercial and residential. In the US, a combination of demand reduction and displacement of coal-fired power by gas-fired generation is the lowest cost way to reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 50%.

Additionally, EVs have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance since they don’t have components like oil filters, spark plugs, and timing belts that need regular servicing or replacement. 10 Are EVs eco-friendly since we generate electricity from coal?

This is due to the 30 to 40 percent increase in emissions EVs create in comparison to manufacturing an ICE vehicle, mainly from its battery production.

The resulting methanol would be blended with crude and transported via the trans-Alaska oil pipeline to Valdez, where it would be extracted from the oil and processed via Methanol-to-Gasoline technology into gasoline. The resulting economy of scale would deliver a significant reduction in investment cost, van Wijk argues.

Also maintenance on these (no oil changes to speak of) etc will cost much less than an internal combution propelled car.

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz.
