Wouldn’t methane make more sense than methanol?

Maybe, if you don't mind a huge compressed gas tank taking up your trunk. I like this idea because methanol will oxygenate yourr gasoline, it's not subsidized, increases the ooctane rating, it's fairly cheap and it's fairly energy dense.

And it’s a water soluble poison. Fumes are more irritating to eyes than those of conventional gasoline. Gasoline spills want to stay above water and eventually evaporate.

But anyhow I think the biggest problem with algae-ols is their copious thirst for fresh water. This harvest of biomass carbon isn’t a dry process. If an algae could be engineered that would be happy drinking sea water, that could change the picture. I hope it wouldn’t get loose and cover the oceans however.
