This paper reports that reformulating gasoline in the U.S. will transform world markets for oxygenates quickly and extensively. That's the main point of a study by Probe Economics Inc., Millwood, N.Y., that assesses the effects gasoline reformulation will have on prices and supplies of methyl tertiary butyl ether, methanol, ethanol, and other oxygenates. Probe also examined how upheaval in oxygenates markets will ripple through refined products and petrochemical markets. The analyst sees world oxygenate demand possibly growing more than tenfold by 2001.
