A route for making fuel grade ethanol from natural gas has been proposed by Humphreys & Glasgow, Ltd., in conjunction with Monsanto and BASF. The route combines conventional steam reforming and methanol synthesis, Monsanto's process for making acetic acid from methanol, and BASF's technology for hydrogenation of acetic acid to ethanol.
