The methane is chemically different than methanol.More over you need heterogenious catalysis for metanol.
Metane gas can be diretly used with vegetable oil in IC engines using vegetable oil too , but not possible to hvve 100 use of Vegetable oil and methane gas. Some compromise need to be done to get optimium biofuel mixture to your engine. Thus simple method can be worked out for metahne gas and vegetable oil , kit for the use of vegetable oil and hence no need for BD and other complicated process . Gas is better clean combustivel than liquid P.V.Panniselvam --- "6 Heins, Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does anyone out there have any ideas on a method of > using methane gas as a substitute for methanol in > the > BD process?
