A methanol-from-wood waste facility having a capacity of 50 million gallons per year requires 1,500 ovendry tons (ODT) of wood waste per day. The yield of methanol from wood is about 38 percent, or about 100 gallons per ODT of wood. This yield is based on all process energy required coming from the wood waste. At a wood waste cost of $15/ODT, the selling price of methanol is estimated at $0.77/gal; at $34/ODT, the selling price is $0.96/gal. That was from a post from the US Forestry. Indy cars ran ICE engines on it for decades. Why is methanol not being groomed as a greener ICE engine fuel??
