This is precisely why synmethanol is a viable migration pathway to
sustainability. It makes both the fossil fuel and chemical industry happy.
ICUs can run on it, as well as direct methanol fuel cells and reformers
driving hydrogen fuel cells. Domestic coals and biomass can be a source of
synthesis gas, and hydrogen fuel cells also take hydrogen from photovoltaics.
Semiconductor and polymer photovoltaics initially take fossil energy and
fossil organics.

Everybody wins.
