Internal reforming Future directions

Methanol also may be produced from wood gas so wood could be a future raw material for making methanol, especially for use as an additive to gasoline for internal combustion engines. Thus, reforming the gasification products obtained at high temperatures is a second method for the production of methanol from wood. This is in contrast to the older method (destructive distillation), which directly yields small quantities of methanol at lower temperatures as mentioned above.
