Cellex used Methanol during thier testing process several years ago. It was working very well but there seem to be some issues that were well documented. They slowly converted into Hydrogen fuel cells and they were recently bought out by Plug Power. Plug Power also bought out General Hydrogen. Hydrogen is the future energy source and is the #1 element available to us on this fragile Earth. Look for a Hydrogen splitting machine in the future. This will remove Hydrogen from tap water and purify it at the same time. It is being done in labs at this time at a high cost and should have some cheaper results soon. Unless your big oil companies step in and buy the rights to produce this equipment. "go to fuelcellsworks dot com for more info"
