Methanol as an Energy Carrier

Energy Technology, 2006, vol. 55, p. 215The present volume is based on volume 28 Methanol als Energieträger
(Methanol as an Energy Carrier) published in the Energy Technology series
in 2003 (ISBN 3-89336-338-6). It has above all been supplemented by
additional contributions to the chapters on DMFC and methanol preparation:
– DMFC (Chapter 3)
– Synthesis gas (Chapter 5)
– Process engineering of methanol synthesis (Chapter 6)
– Methanol and MCFC (Berlin project) (Chapter 11.3)
The chapters of the 2003 editon have been updated. However, this was
not possible in each case for costs or prices because of the dramatic price
increases at the end of 2005.Contents
