                  Synthesis gas for the production of MeOH is produced by the gasification of wood in the presence of O₂ and steam, yielding a synthesis gas with a H₂:CO ratio of 2:2 and 7% of inerts.  The gas is converted by means of the Grande Paroisse process using a mixture of ZnO and Cr₂O₃ as the catalyst at 425° and 650 kgm. per cm.² pressure.  After rectification the MeOH obtained is 99.9% pure.  The yield per ton of dry wood is 3 hl.
