“…[1,3,5,6] MeOH is a key feedstock in the production of chemicals such as formaldehyde and acetic acid [3,7,8] and is also used in the production of hydrogen through its decomposition, steam reforming, and partial oxidation reactions. [1,3,9] MeOH is widely considered an attractive alternative fuel compared to H 2 because of its transportation properties: it is a liquid fuel, has low toxicity compared to gasoline and diesel fuels, and can be produced by various sources, such as syngas and renewable biomass. [5,8] The high H/C ratio (4:1), equal to that of methane, makes it an important energy carrier.…”
