- Liquids from methane could be better than mere gas(oline)
- methanol from methane?Technical nonsense. Methanol is a partially burned methane, using a catalyst doesn't change that.This is only feasable if the energy liberated by the partial burning of methane to methanol is captured and used.Fuel mileage of methanol is much lower than gasoline.Straight methane as an internal combustion engine...

- Liquids from methane could be better than mere gas(oline)
- American researchers have developed a method of converting methane from gas into useful liquids. What the research discovered: efficient methods for turning methane into methanol or other liquids that are easily transported and used. Methane and methanol burn much cleaner than more complex organic fuels. It can...

- Another morning hangover for ethanolics
- This time a major U.S. newspaper editorializes against the American subsidies for ethanol. Their conclusion: "This does not mean that Congress should give up on biofuels as an important part of the effort to reduce the country’s dependency on imported oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. What it does...
