helpful and informative details


ethane and methane are byproducts of the fractional distillation of crude oil,

crude oil becomes like 80% octane (C8H18, petrol)
then propane(C5H12) butane(C4H10) ethane(C3H8) and methane(C2H6)

anything left over is tar and bitumen


i see three solutions,

one is to ferment yeast (alot of yeast) the distill your crop of alcohol many times , - it needs to be quite pure,

two - buy some petrol and make your own methane/ethane to convert to their alcohol relatives. however this is totally not feasible, the energy that it takes to break a hydrocarbon chain is larger than the collective potential energy of the pieces,

thirdly buy some crude oil, you can look up the price on the stock exchange, and f. distill it yourself

NB: i think it may be illegal to run your own still as they are known to explode to to the volatility of alcohol

NB: volatility refers to a liquid's evaporation rate not its explosiveness

NB: i think it may be illegal to run your own refinery as it would undoubtedly be in violation of the kyoto protocol
