Thanks Sean - I wanted to get more info on butanol. We had a visit from an academic guy from Barbados last year and he was quite interested in butanol, to produce biofuels from their sugar cane.
It's qute foolish in my view to use natural gas to produce hydrogen - the natural gas can be used directly to power vehicles with some modifications. Unless hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources it will not solve any of the problems that it's claimed to solve.

Charles
