It was designed to convert natural gas into methanol and then into synthetic gasoline. Construction began in 1981, and the plant was commissioned in 1984-85. It was initially a successful project, but due to fluctuating oil prices, it shifted its focus to methanol production and stopped producing synthetic gasoline in 1997.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with colour images, including on end papers.\u003cbr\u003e\nIncludes a Mobil gift card.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nNear new with only light shelf wear on dust jacket.
