METHANOL

The primary product that the B2M Project is designed to produce is methanol, the simplest of the alcohols, but there's no need to stop there. Methanol itself can be readily converted into dimethyl ether which can function as a direct replacement for propane, the Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) that is a mainstay for rural farms as a cooking and heating fuel. Methanol is also a key ingredient in the manufacture of bio-diesel... By arranging energy-intensive buildings around the B2M equipment, we are able to scavenge the heat incredible heat that is put off by the process and put it to use. Laundry, bathing, baking, and greenhouses are close by to capitalize on the energy. Next, houses are heated by piping hot water through the floor. The last stop is as tepid water to irrigate ground crops... An incredibly important part of the B2M village system is culture. We have a tried and tested system of by-laws to help guide the decision-making and conflict-resolution portions of community..
