A biotechnology process for producing methanol deriving solely from plant as proffered contributes significantly to the conversion to use of renewable resources for the production of industrial chemicals, limits the application of the extended definition of the term Green to qualify a methanol chemistry as Green, and eliminates the need for the confirmation of the suggested methanol chemistry, on the basis that the process of producing the methanol does not draw energy from any energy source based on any of the fossil fuels. The issue of developing a biotechnology process for producing methanol from plant is readily accomplished by developing upon known methods of producing methanol from plants. In this regard a known method is the production of methanol from pectin; and this then is the basis for developing the biotechnology. Read more...
