The efficiency of a methanol-fueled gas turbine is improved by at least partially dissociating the methanol prior to combustion in the presence of a methanol dissociation catalyst and providing at least a part and preferably all of the energy for the dissociation from the heat in the hot gases of combustion. This heat is sufficient to dissociate more of the methanol than is required for the combustion so that a process gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen is available from the process as well as power from the turbine. Self-contained processes for the production of liquid hydrogen, for the production of steel from iron ore and for the conjoint production of electrical power and methane gas are described.
