Methanol is a key building block in the production of various chemicals and is regarded as one of the most promising potential energy sources. It can be used not only as a fuel and fuel additive in combustion-based vehicles, but it also is a promising energy carrier in fuel cells and can be synthesized from several feedstock, including natural gases, coal, oven gas, biomass, and CO2. Best of all, when methanol is produced from waste or captured CO2, it is a net carbon-neutral fuel and can aid in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fighting climate change.
This all-encompassing reference will provide readers with detailed insights into the production and applications of methanol. Economic assessment and environmental opportunities and challenges will be covered. Comprehensive Methanol Science: Production, Applications, and Emerging Technologies serves as an excellent resource for students and professors in chemical engineering, methanol engineers and researchers, and energy sector research and development companies.

Mohammad Reza Rahimpour
Prof. Mohammad Reza Rahimpour is a professor in Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University joint with University of Sydney, Australia 1988. He started his independent career as Assistant Professor in September 1998 at Shiraz University. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour, was a Research Associate at University of California, Davis from 2012 till 2017. During his stay in University of California, he developed different reaction networks and catalytic processes such as thermal and plasma reactors for upgrading of lignin bio-oil to biofuel with collaboration of UCDAVIS. He has been a Chair of Department of Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University from 2005 till 2009 and from 2015 till 2020. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour leads a research group in fuel processing technology focused on the catalytic conversion of fossil fuels such as natural gas, and renewable fuels such as bio-oils derived from lignin to valuable energy sources. He provides young distinguished scholars with perfect educational opportunities in both experimental methods and theoretical tools in developing countries to investigate in-depth research in the various field of chemical engineering including carbon capture, chemical looping, membrane separation, storage and utilization technologies, novel technologies for natural gas conversion and improving the energy efficiency in the production and use of natural gas industries.
