Biomass Energy Foundation: MethanolMETHANOL: A VERSATILE FUEL FOR IMMEDIATEUSEHomeBiomassEnergyGasification &ReformingLiquid FuelsWoodCookingEnergyRosetta StoneBookstoreAbout theBEFLinksI began experimenting with alcohol and alcohol blendfuels in 1973 when I worked at MIT. I published my resultsin an article 1 , "Methanol: A Versatile Fuel for ImmediateUse" with a colleague, Bob Lerner in the premier sciencejournal, SCIENCE (Vol 182, p.1299) in December 1973.This coincided with the peak of the first OPEC gasolineshortage and the article was summarized in the New YorkTimes. I couldn't believe the attention we got. The publicand Congress didn't realize that cars can run on otherfuels than oil. I testified in the U.S. Senate and severalstate legislatures and had many phone calls inquiringabout what I knew and telling me many things I didn'tknow.One reader, a Mr. Hawley from Minneapolis had made agreat deal of money in oil and gas and sent a check for$100,000 to me and MIT to do research on methanolproduction and use. I took a year leave of absence frommy material science interests to work at the newly createdMIT Energy Laboratory (and teach Thermodynamics). Weset up a gas station test for MIT students and faculty whowould be willing to use our blends in order to find out whatproblems might arise.http://www.woodgas.com/methanol.htm (1 of 5) [10/9/2008 08:23:07]
