Fulcrum also has developed a two-stage thermochemical process involving the gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) followed by the catalytic conversion of the syngas to ethanol. This process also reduces the amount of municipal solid waste going into landfill sites and the methane gas emissions that result from this.

Although processes exist for the production of isoprene from biomass, these processes suffer from low overall yields or low conversion rates, preventing them from being economically feasible. Isoprene is also currently manufactured as a byproduct of naphtha and gas oil cracking, serving as one of the major monomers for rubber and elastomers.

Smaller amounts of China’s methanol supply are imported from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America, and the United States. Methanol can also be converted directly to gasoline, and in China this conversion occurs much less often than the blending of methanol or its derivatives into gasoline.
