Methanol has many advantages to be considered as an alternative fuel. About 75% of methanol production uses natural gas as feedstock. Use of biomass as feedstock to produce methanol is of current interest because it offers substantial benefits for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The research and development of biomass-to-methanol processes, one of which is called Hynol, are now in progress.
