This does not include a conventional vehicle that is limited to operation on blended or reformulated gasoline fuels. It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams. The simplest alcohol, it boils at 64.7 degrees Celsius.
Methanol is produced commercially by the catalyzed reaction of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
It was formerly derived from the destructive distillation of wood, which caused it to be known as wood alcohol. A fuel containing a mixture of 85 percent methanol and 15 percent gasoline. A clear, colorless, flammable oxygenated hydrocarbon with a boiling point of 78.t degrees Celsius in the anhydrous state. However, it forms a binary azeotrope with water, with a boiling point of 78.15 degrees Celsius at a composition of 95.57 percent by weight ethanol. Ethanol can also be used in high concentration in vehicles optimized for its use.
