110 octane fuel from wind and manure

In a basement in North Zealand, a small test set-up is producing the carbon-neutral fuel—methanol. Chemically pure, odourless and burning with a clear blue flame, methanol is almost invisible in daylight. The octane rating for methanol gas is 110. The main ingredients are liquid manure from Lemvig, Denmark, and a westerly wind.
