Gas to methanol. Natural gas is the feedstock used in most of the worldâs production of methanol. Methanol is a primary liquid petrochemical made from renewable and nonrenewable fossil fuels containing carbon and hydrogen. Containing one carbon atom, methanol is the simplest alcohol. It is a colorless, tasteless liquid and is commonly known as âwood alcohol.â. Stranded gas can be monetized by producing chemical (or fuel grade) methanol and transporting it to the market.
Causes. Albinism occurs when one of several genetic defects makes the body unable to produce or distribute melanin, a natural substance that gives color to your hair, skin, and iris of the eye. The defects may be passed down through families. The most severe form of albinism is called oculocutaneous albinism.
Albinos lack skin and eye pigments, including melanin. Melanin absorbs energy from the sun, which protects skin cells from damage to DNA that the energy would cause if the melanin is not there. Without melanin, skin cells are damaged more easily leading to cancer.n albinos, they lack the ability to make melanin. As such, their DNA is much more susceptible to UV damage and skin cancer. The best prevention is to stay out of the sun. Use of clothing and/or sunscreens can also effectively limit sun exposure. Source(s): Ph.D.
