Methanol

Arkansas-specific information will be coming soon. In the meantime, read more at the Department of Energy's webpage on methanol.

Basic information

Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, can be used as an alternative fuel in flexible fuel vehicles that run on M85 (a blend of 85% methanol and 15% gasoline). It is not commonly used because automakers are no longer supplying methanol-powered vehicles. In the future, methanol could possibly be the fuel of choice for providing the hydrogen necessary to power fuel cell vehicles.
