Methanol - Wikipedia
Modern methanol production has been made more efficient through use of catalysts (commonly copper) capable of operating at lower pressures. The modern low pressure methanol (LPM) process was developed by ICI in the late 1960s with the technology patent long since expired.

Production of Methanol - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The production of methanol is defined as a process that involves the synthesis of methanol from syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) derived from natural gas, utilizing catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, followed by purification through distillation.

Methanol Production: Unveiling The Process Behind Alcohol's Key ...
Methanol, a key component in various industrial processes and a potential fuel source, is primarily produced through the catalytic conversion of synthesis gas (syngas), a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H₂). This process, known as methanol synthesis, typically involves the use of a copper-based catalyst under high pressure and temperature conditions. Syngas itself can be ...

Production, distribution and storage - AMF
Methanol is typically produced from natural gas or coal, but it can also be renewable methanol made from biomass. Methanol is sometimes called “wood alcohol”, because it was once produced as a byproduct of wood distillation.

Methanol
Fast-rising fuel demand, as well as the development of unconventional chemical production plants (MTO), have been the primary drivers of methanol consumption in the region. The sizeable development of global methanol production has created an opportunity for mainland China to diversify away from conventional naphtha cracking to produce olefins.
