·The key technology of methanol vehicle research and development is not a problem

At the national methanol vehicle pilot work symposium held in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the phased test data of methanol vehicles. It is considered that methanol as a vehicle alternative fuel has no major obstacles in technology.
The pilot phase test data shows that the vehicle runs smoothly and normally, and the emission data of nitrogen oxides are 40% to 50% lower than the national standard limit value. Some indicators meet the national five standards, and the formaldehyde emissions of unconventional pollutants are only the prescribed limit values. 6%, the quality of methanol-related work environment meets the requirements of national standards, and no abnormalities are found in the physical examination of alcohol-related personnel. The fuel cost per unit mileage is 48% lower than that of the same-displacement gasoline vehicle.
The pilot project of “two provinces and one city” (Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shanghai) of methanol vehicles was launched in 2012. Over a year, more than 281 methanol vehicles were put into trial operation.
Su Bo, deputy secretary and deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the meeting that from the current pilot analysis, methanol as a vehicle alternative fuel has no major obstacles in technology, and conventional emissions are relatively clean, and will not comply with the operating regulations. Affect human health. From a short-term perspective, methanol as a vehicle alternative fuel is an alternative to gasoline and diesel in China. From a medium to long-term perspective, methanol as a vehicle alternative fuel has strategic significance for ensuring China's energy security.
Su Bo said that the next phase will further promote the pilot work of methanol vehicles and upgrade the level of methanol vehicles and related technology products.
"At present, the research and development of complete vehicles for methanol vehicles, the manufacture of special components for methanol internal combustion engines and the key technologies and products are still in the early stage of industrialization development, and it is still necessary to further improve the technical level and product quality." Su Bo said that it is necessary to strengthen technological innovation and break through fuel. Supply system core technology and bottlenecks of key components, solve technical problems such as high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of key parts of alternative fuel internal combustion engines, master unconventional emission post-processing technology, and improve the quality of key components such as fuel pumps and nozzles.
Su Bo said that the policy will be introduced to encourage more automobile manufacturers to carry out research and development of methanol engines and complete vehicles, accelerate technological progress, and develop more new products. At the same time, it is necessary to break the regional restrictions and give full play to the role of the market to form an industrial development pattern with the participation of vehicle manufacturers as the leader and key component companies.
