This document discusses the potential for increased methanol production and use as a transportation fuel in the United States. Key points include: 1) Increased natural gas production could enable production of up to 17 billion gallons of methanol annually for under $1.50 per gallon. 2) With some infrastructure changes like fueling stations and updated vehicle systems, methanol could replace up to 12% of US oil imports and 10 billion gallons of gasoline usage. 3) Methanol has the potential to reduce fuel costs and tailpipe emissions compared to gasoline.
