| Abstract |
This report examines the relative advantages and disadvantages of the use of pure methanol fuel in motor vehicles designed for its use over conventional fuels. This report specifically addresses the use of pure or neat methanol it does not address methanol gasoline blends for use in existing automobiles. Five basic issues are discussed: (1) The availability of raw materials for methanol production such as coal, natural gas, wood, biomass, municipal waste and peat. (2) The relative availability of technology and environmental effects of producing methanol and conventional fuels from non-petroleum domestic feedstocks. (3) The practicality of distributing a new fuel for use in motor vehicles. (4) The exhaust emissions and fuel efficiency of motor vehicles operating on pure methanol fuel relative to those of conventional vehicles. (5) The economics of producing, distributing and using methanol as a motor vehicle fuel. |
