423.    CALVERT, G. C.  Synthetic Alcohols and Liquid Fuels.  Chem. Age, vol. 5, 1921, p. 153; Chem. Abs., vol. 15, 1921, p. 3735.

                  Calvert has developed a method of converting C into water gas and mixing this with other gases, according to the product desired.  Utilization of wood waste, charcoal, or carbonizable tropical matter should yield fuel MeOH at $19/ton.  Details of the process are withheld.  The ratio of efficiency of MeOH to gasoline for use in internal-combustion engines is 5:4.
