			= [[Syngas]] to [[Ethanol]] =
			*A novel process being commercialized largely in China
			*Not too relevant in an OSE context due to traditional fermentation or [[Cellulosic Ethanol]] techniques making more sense if [[Ethanol]] is desired
			*In a geopolitical attempt to hold food prices stable while using more Ethanol as a Blendstock (as an [[Octane Booster]] and/or [[Fuel Oxygenate Additive]] ) in a country with HUGE coal reserves it can make a BIT of geopolitical sense but anything slowing Coal Phaseout will be disastrous for Climate Change regardless
			*Still an interesting technology worth looking into/documenting though
