Can Methanol Replace Gasoline?
1 Answers
Methanol can theoretically replace gasoline without issues. However, since gasoline supply currently meets the demands of social development, methanol has not been widely promoted. Methanol gasoline has already appeared in the market, partially replacing gasoline and reducing conventional gasoline consumption. Below are the advantages of methanol fuel: 1. Environmental Protection: Methanol fuel improves comprehensive resource utilization while reducing environmental pollution. It has lower fire risks compared to gasoline, reduces static electricity hazards, promotes complete combustion, and has high latent heat of vaporization, improving engine thermal efficiency. Methanol gasoline and diesel can be mixed with refined oil and switched at any time. 2. Superior Performance: It offers better fuel and mechanical performance, with greater explosive power, meeting and enhancing engine thermal efficiency and power.
