Alternative resources for the methanol economy

W. Reschetilowski

Dresden University of Technology, Institute of Industrial Chemistry

Abstract: Generally, methanol produced for chemical applications is made predominantly via fossil resources. But it can be also obtained from any carbon-containing feedstock, including biomass, biogas, forest residues, and municipal or other waste products. Perspective viewing and critical assessment show the possibilities and constraints of such alternative resources for the realization of the methanol economy with high sustainability.
