In China, mostly in the rural regions where gas is unavailable, most people & restaurants burn coal for cooking, which causes a lot of pollution. What they are doing now is replacing coal cook stoves with methanol ones, China makes large amount of methanol from Coal, lacking the double-carbon bond, it burns as cleanly as natural gas, more cleanly than propane or butane. It is also widely used for building heat, hot water and transportation. Unlike natural gas it is easy to store and transport. And is much less expensive than imported LNG.
Totally on point here. Excellent work.
Once our bureaucrats get wind of this in England they will be licking their lips at the thought of doing yet more good.
Leap on, Oh Green one.
