I assume the metanol demand world wide is increasing as biofuels
production are increasing sharply. Is it valid to assume prices have
gone up do to pressure on demand not cost build up reasons?

It is my understanding that most of the methanol available in the US is
produced from ethylene (petroleum). I'm not surprising that methanol prices
have gone up, but, I am surprised it took so long for them to do so. They
probably will come back down in the near future since oil prices have moderated.
The other way to make methanol is from wood, by way of pyrolysis (destructive
heating which also produces charcoal) but this is not commonly done since it is
more difficult and costly.

Subject: [Biofuel] Methanol Price Increase?
Hello All,
Did I miss the news?
Has there been a significant increase in the price of methanol
recently?
I just got the bill for a delivery (two 55gal barrels). Previous price
( July): $2.60 USD/gallon; current bill: $3.54 USD/ gallon .... 35%
increase in a few months?
I'll call my supplier in a little while ... maybe it's just a billing
mistake. I am just hoping someone has some info.
Thanks,
Tom
