    Well it's bacteria growing in a pool of diluted methanol sourced from coal just wondering about other materials needed & contaminants depending on the type of coal

      I'm assuming it would be purified first.

      But there are tech available that allows for photosynthesis of methanol from CO2. So, it's not just coal.
