The word "Methanol" doesn't appear in the O.P.'s post, either...what are YOU reading? ;)

You are quite right, :S but "Methane" doesn't appear either!:B
(I call that a senior moment fat finger!)

But back to the topic --- I think it's great news if there is a potential for a large scale process that can turn Carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and then into ethanol.

I'm seeing major WIN here. Hook the machine to your tailpipe and by the time you reach your campsite you've got enough alcohol for happy hour. :)
