Methanol is typically synthesized via steam reformation of natgas. So hydrogen from methanol is just an intermediate step from natgas. It is possible to use biological processes to make methanol, but I don't believe it is widely done, as it would be very much more expensive than using natgas as a feedstock. :::: The more the work is left to nature, the greater the net yield but the longer the time required...
