ABSTRACT

This paper will provide an update of a commercially proven route for converting coal and natural gas to gasoline through methanol synthesis and methanol conversion to gasoline. ExxonMobil's Methanol-to-Gasoline process efficiently converts crude methanol to high quality clean gasoline. Mobil discovered the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process in the 1970's and commercialized a New Zealand plant in 1985 that produced MTG gasoline using natural gas as the feedstock. MTG gasoline is fully compatible with conventional refinery gasoline and with all gasoline engines.
