Abstract
This report examines the issues surrounding the distribution of synthetic motor fuels, especially methanol. Four basic issues are discussed: (1) an overview of the existing transportation fuel distribution network including historical trends and crude oil pipeline networks and capacities (2) the technical problems in transporting methanol (3) economic costs of long-range, local, and retail distribution and (4) the total distribution capacity needed to support a viable synduel industry. In conclusion, the total capital costs for synthetic motor fuel distribution is given and compared to the capital cost requirements for synfuel production facilities.
