Zhejiang University team investigates emissions from methanol-gasoline blends

Green Car Congress

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). Unburned methanol is toxic and corrosive. —Yao et al.
