Methanol, like ethanol, is an alcohol with inherent issues such as its solubility in water and corrosiveness. Following enactment of provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that were interpreted as reducing or eliminating legal defenses available to MTBE blenders, its use was soon phased out in the United States.
