The best of two worlds is exploited when methanol‐oxidizing enzymes are combined with formaldehyde‐reforming metal complexes. In their Communication on page 10308 ff. , J. Deska, M. Prechtl et al. employ an organometallic formaldehyde dehydrogenase mimic to construct a methylotrophic in vitro metabolism. The interplay of biocatalytic MeOH activation with the transition‐metal‐catalyzed dehydrogenation provides a room‐temperature path for the liberation of hydrogen gas from aqueous methanol.
