Methanol Gasoline refers to a type of vehicle clean fuel obtained by adding a certain proportion of denatured fuel methanol to unleaded gasoline for motor vehicles. It is generally divided into 15% (ie, M15) of low-grade blended fuel and 50% (ie, M50). ) The above high proportion of burned. In 1997, China approved the pilot implementation of the promotion of methanol gasoline application in Shanxi Province. At present, there are already 14 provinces and cities such as Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Heilongjiang that voluntarily organize the promotion of methanol fuel. Alcohol ether fuels have been developing rapidly throughout the country. At present, there are nearly 100 companies that include fuel methanol production and methanol gasoline production, with more than 10 billion yuan of capital deposited in this industry.
The reporter learned that due to the uncertainty of the country’s industrial policies, the industrial project policies and the national technical standards for methanol gasoline have not yet been introduced, and local governments have no choice but to act according to their own circumstances. Some of the methanol gasoline produced in various places are based on local standards, and some are based on the standards of one company. Due to the very confusing ratio, the quality of methanol gasoline in various places is uneven.
Shanxi established its own local standard in 2002; Sichuan Provincial Technical Supervision Bureau also established the local standard DB51/T259-1996 for methanol gasoline in 1996. In addition, as a company, Henan Luohe Petrochemical Group also set a corporate standard for medium-scale methanol gasoline M50 in 2001.
The chaos of the standards has seriously hindered the scientific development of the methanol gasoline industry. To this end, on this forum, government officials from more than 20 provinces and cities across the country and domestic and foreign experts and scholars called on the state to clearly define the methanol gasoline industry policy and formulate methanol fuel products and use standards to promote the health of the industry. Orderly development.
It is reported that the national professional committee for alcohol ether fuel and alcohol ether cleaning vehicles is assisting the relevant national authorities in compiling industry standards for dimethyl ether industrial products, and at the same time preparing to establish an industry standard for methanol gasoline with reference to the national standards for unleaded gasoline and ethanol gasoline.
The lack of national standards and local standards are different. The promotion of methanol gasoline is hot and chaotic.
The reporter learned from the high-level forum of national alcohol ether fuels and alcohol ether cleaning vehicles and the high-level forum of alcohol ether fuel and alcohol ether cleaning vehicles that ended on November 14th that the development of methanol gasoline around the country was rapid, but the national industrial policy was not yet clear. Caused the lack of national standards, local standards are their own governance, very chaotic.
