dude, you need to use google,I didn't make this stuff up,read it on line, as well as already knowing it from studying it here's a little reasearch info
http://www.wiley.com/legacy/college/...l/methanol.htm
biomass resources such as crop residues, grass, forest residues, and the components of municipal solid waste that contain cellulose can all serve as feedstocks.
After two semesters of inorganic chemistry and two more semesters of organic chemistry in college, I think I know the difference between methanol and ethanol. I never said methanol could not be made from renewable resources. It is however a totally different process than turning sugar cane, corn, etc. into ethanol.
As if reading something on the web makes it true!
