Methanol is a poisonous chemical derived through synthetic processes, while commercial ethanol is produced by factory fermentation of food crops. Both substances can be used as energy sources, but methanol serves mainly as a subject of research and its use as a motor fuel in theU.S. has been largely phased out.
