In the foreseeable future, our energy needs will come from any available alternate source. Methanol is one such viable alternative, and also offers a convenient solution for efficient energy storage on a large scale.In this updated and enlarged edition, renowned chemists discuss in a clear and readily accessible manner the pros and cons of humankind's current main energy sources, while providing new ways toMethanol industryEconomic aspectsMethanol industryEconomic aspects.333.793Olah George A(George Andrew),1927-2017,16147Goeppertand AlainPrakash G.
