A new MIT report on natural gas determines that natural gas to methanol is the best use of natural gas in transportation.The report calls for the introduction of an open fuel standard enabling cars to run on any mixture of gasoline ethanol AND methanol.
A range of liquid fuels can be produced by thermochemical conversion of natural gas to a synthesis gas followed by catalytic conversion to the liquid fuel. These fuels include diesel produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process, methanol, mixed alcohols (methanol, ethanol and others), ethanol, gasoline and dimethyl ether (which, like propane, requires modest pressurization to remain liquid).10 Among these conversion processes, the only one that has been established at large industrial scale over a long period, with well established costs, is the natural gas to methanol conversion (for purposes other than transportation).It is the liquid fuel that is most efficiently and inexpensively produced from natural gas.

Ladies and gentlemen of the left and the right: Let's be realistic. There is no chance whatsoever that the U.S. political system will either: A) Pass carbon or gas taxes sufficiently punitive to compel Americans to curtail their driving substantially, or B) Support rapid expansion of offshore drilling for the foreseeable future. Corn, ethanol and the war on terrorism
American farmers are producing enough corn to meet food needs, livestock feed needs and to provide a start for the country's effort to develop a sustainable energy source to offset the high cost of dependency on foreign oil.
