I think the majority of gas, at least in EU, is burned in residential heating units. Even assuming new burners that would work with methanol, I don't think you could send that through the existing gas pipes.
- andreareina 4y agoIs methanol even safe to burn?
- aaaaaaaaaaab 4y agoWhat do you mean “safe”? methanol + oxygen = water + CO2 + energy This is high school chemistry…
- p_l 4y agoThe exact physics of the reaction impact burner design and how much work is needed to adapt a burner designed for one fuel to another (sometimes impossible even if you're replacing gas with gas).
- Jabbles 4y agoMethanol is highly toxic; it is important to consider how we can make pumping it into people's homes as safe as possible.

- worik 4y agoIs methanol more toxic than gasoline?
- throwaway821909 4y agoNot sure if you meant something else but just in case, "the majority of gas, at least in EU, is burned in residential heating units" means natural gas i.e. methane, not petrol/gasoline
