Wood alcohol is methanol and its chemical formula is CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). It is also known as methyl alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits. It is called wood alcohol because it was once a byproduct of distillation of wood. It is now produced from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen directly in a catalytic industrial process.
