Consumption of fuel methanol in China to soar

According to an April 4, 2013 article on icis.com, if the Chinese government implements later this year its plan to mandate  a 15% methanol/85% gasoline blend, by 2015 the consumption of  methanol in the country will double over 2012 levels. Should this extraordinary surge in consumption of methanol as a transportation fuel be realized, it will reinforce the arguments of proponents of the Open Fuel Standard in the US and greatly help efforts around the world to make methanol a mainstream transportation fuel. It would appear that now is a good time to become a large-scale producer of methanol . . .
