About Methanol For Vehicle Fuel

Methanol As Vehicle Fuel

Across the world, methanol is emerging as a clean, sustainable transportation fuel of the future. Methanol can be blended with gasoline in low quantities and used in existing road vehicles. It can be used in high-proportion blends such as M85 in flex-fuel vehicles or M100 in dedicated methanol-fueled cars as a substitute for gasoline or diesel. Allied Methanol group collaborates with its off-takers and partners worldwide to promote methanol as a clean, sustainable road fuel.

Benefits of Methanol As Vehicle Fuel

LOW-EMISSION FUEL



Methanol is a clean-burning fuel that produces fewer smog-causing emissions than conventional fuels — such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Methanol meets environmental fuel regulations and improves air quality and related human health issues.

ECONOMICAL



Methanol can be produced, distributed, and sold to consumers at prices competitive to gasoline and diesel with no need for government subsidies.

IT'S USED IN VEHICLES WORLDWIDE



Methanol is being used in vehicles worldwide, particularly in China, which is the world’s largest user of methanol for automotive fuel.

IT'S HIGH-OCTANE



As a high-octane vehicle fuel, methanol offers excellent acceleration and power. It also improves vehicle efficiency.

GLOBAL AVAILABILITY



Methanol is one of the top five chemical commodities shipped worldwide each year. Unlike some alternative fuels, it only requires minor modifications to existing terminal infrastructure.

LONG SAFE HANDLING HISTORY



For over 100 years, methanol has been shipped globally, handled, and used in various applications. Risk classification societies has developed standards and guidelines for methanol as a vehicle fuel.

BIODEGRADABLE



Methanol is a clear, colorless liquid that quickly dissolves in water and biodegrades rapidly. The environmental effects of a large methanol spill would be much lower than those from an equivalent oil spill.

WIDE FEEDSTOCK AVAILABILITY



Methanol is commonly produced on a commercial scale from natural gas. Methanol can be made from renewable sources such as biomass and recycled carbon dioxide.
