Methanol gasoline has obvious advantages but the market is cold

In the shortcomings of traditional fossil energy in recent years, methanol, gasoline and ethanol and other alternative energy sources have appeared in the market. In the eyes of some experts, China’s coal reserves are abundant. In recent years, China’s coal production has continued to increase. The net export volume is about 10 million tons each year. Compared to high oil, the production of methanol gasoline is more practical. Extracting methanol from coal will not only solve the problem of food safety, but also solve the problem of the clean use of inferior coal. It can be described as a double-edged sword.

He Guangyuan, former Minister of Machinery Industry, recently spoke of the “Strategies for Promoting and Utilizing Methanol Gasoline Strategy” sponsored by the Guangdong Petroleum Industry Association: “In China, only coal can be mined for more than a century. High-grade coal in China’s coal reserves account for 40%—50%.The inferior coal cannot be used as a primary energy source, but it can use clean technology to prepare high*low-quality coal as a secondary energy for replacing petroleum.

“In China, whether methanol or gasoline is used for methanol production, the technology is basically mature.” Yao Zhilong, deputy director of Enze Biomass Labs, said that the use of 3% to 5% of methanol gasoline, the car does not need to be modified, equivalent to the addition of gasoline Oxygen-increasing agent and anti-burst agent improve engine efficiency; use of 15%-45% methanol-gasoline has no impact on vehicles, and can also reduce exhaust emissions; using about 85% methanol-gasoline to properly corrode some automotive parts, Need to modify the car, the United States, Germany, Japan and China have successfully developed special vehicles.

It is understood that, compared with ordinary gasoline, the same price of methanol gasoline per liter price is about 0.5 yuan lower. According to this standard, a private car with an average annual fuel consumption of 2,000 liters can be saved 1,000 yuan per year if it uses M15 methanol gasoline instead. If a taxi is used, it can save about 20 yuan per day for fuel costs, and it can save 600 yuan a month, and it can cost less than 7,000 yuan a year.

"Methanol gasoline has sufficient resources, mature technology, and low prices, but methanol gasoline has been difficult to please the market for a long time across the country." Many methanol experts told reporters that the methanol gasoline in the market's embarrassing position.

From the experience of methanol gasoline in the country, methanol gasoline has survived in the domestic market for many years. For example, Guangdong Province, which consumes large amounts of energy, despite the dual pressures of high energy consumption and high pollution, methanol gasoline has not been able to spread to the Guangzhou and Shenzhen markets.
