Globally, the use of methanol as an alternative fuel has attracted interest because of its low production cost, renewable capacity, and good combustion-related properties (higher thermal efficiency, higher engine power, and lower regulated emissions). A paper on their work is published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels.

Despite problems with its characteristics (toxicity; handling, storage and delivery requirements; and materials compatibility), methanol attracted a great deal of interest in the 1970s and later as an alternative fuel, partly because it can be produced from a number of raw and renewable resources. —Fan et al.

At the same time, it’s becoming apparent that alternative-fuel solutions we’re looking at have big drawbacks, and that producing these fuels will take a lot of green power that will be needed to replace coal and gas on shore. “It’s becoming more and more apparent that we need to do something about emissions,” he notes. “At

A team at the University of Calgary (Canada) has compared the energy intensities and lifecycle GHG emissions of unconventional oils (oil sands and oil shale) alongside shale gas, coal, lignite, wood and conventional oil and gas. Class III fuels, high energy intensive fuels with percentage amount of fuel (energy) expended above 12%.
