	Hydrocarbon fuels can be upgraded in endothermic processes by various heat sources. In other words, the calorific value of a liquid (bio-)fuel can be increased by solar thermal input. Gaseous fuels can similarly be solar-upgraded in this way (e.g. solar reforming or cracking of methane [[biogas]]). One example of this is the conversion of [[methane to methanol]] using concentrated sunlight. The source of methane can be [[biogas]] or [[Compressed_Fuel_Gas\|syngas]]. Methanol is a fuel that is liquid at room temperature and can be burned in an internal combustion engine. It is increasingly popular in China for vehicle propulsion.
