It concludes that there is a significant potential for additional methanol capacity in those developing countries that possess low-cost gas resources. This additional capacity would be geared primarily to exports of methanol -based fuel products to the more industrialized countries, with some potential for fostering domestic methanol fuel uses in a limited number of these developing countries. This report emphasizes gas-rich but oil-poor developing countries.

How do we tackle them in a world where the accustomed methods used by nation-states may be reaching their natural limits?In High Noon, J. F. Rischard challenges us to take a new approach to the twenty most important and urgent global problems of the twenty-first century. Rischard finds their common thread: we don't have an effective way of dealing with the problems that our increasingly crowded, interconnected world creates. Our difficulties belong to the future, but our means of solving them belong to the past.Rischard proposes new vehicles for global problem-solving that are startling and persuasive. With its clear-eyed urgency and refreshing specificity, High Noon is an agenda-setting book that everyone who cares about the future must read.
