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.

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. In addition, we need no more biofuel than what is currently in production now.
