The conversion of methanol and ethanol to hydrocarbon fuels has been done for many years. The two dominant pathways are methanol to gasoline (MTG) and ethanol to jet (ETJ), which is also known as ethanol to kerosene (ETK). The smaller methanol molecule is ideal to produce the lighter gasoline fraction for cars. The larger ethanol molecule yields the heavier kerosene fraction that is required…
