Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the alternative transportation fuels more frequently discussed today are ethanol and methanol. This study reviews, on the basis of available information, recent developments in the Canadian gasoline market and examines the likely developments in sourcing, pricing and competition of these alcohol fuels, in relation to each other and to gasoline in the regional markets. The study also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of 6 oxygenates which have been considered as fuel additives for octane enhancement in Canada as well as their use to date; and the implications of using ethanol and methanol as alternative fuel sources for the stakeholders involved and suggests the necessary pre-steps which will be required in order to maintain harmony between all the players affected by this industry.

Book excerpt: This monograph focuses on methanol and its utilization in transportation sector, namely in spark ignition (SI) engines. The contents focus on methanol production and presents a variety of production technologies from different feedstocks. The potential of methanol utilization in transportation in SI engines is discussed, its challenges, limitations, aspects related to its utilization and current global use of methanol are also presented. The book also contains chapters related to pollutant formation and exhaust emissions from methanol fuelled SI engines, one chapter is focused specifically on formaldehyde emissions, which possesses one of the greatest challenges of methanol use in IC engines. Readers will learn about the production aspects of methanol, its potential as a sustainable fuel, its utilization in SI engine and the effect of methanol and its utilization techniques on engine performance, combustion, exhaust emissions, efficiency and other important parameters. This volume will be a useful guide for professionals, post-graduate students involved in alternative fuels, spark ignition engines, and environmental research.

Book excerpt: While hydrogen is definitely the fuel of the future, its economic viability is many years away. Thus an interim, or mid-term fuel is required to replace petroleum. In comparing all of the potential alternative fuels, methanol is the only one that fits the bill of being truly universal, that is, it can be used in all three types of powerplants that will be in use: Spark-ignition engines, compression-ignition engines, and fuel cells. In this book, a concept is introduced called Low Cetane Compression Ignition (LCCI), and it is compared to other technologies from economic, efficiency and emissions standpoints. Burning methanol in a LCCI engine provides diesel-like efficiency, low NOx emissions and no particulate emissions. With the addition of NOx after treatment, future emissions standards are easily met, and when mated to a generator in a hybrid configuration, it approaches the efficiency of a fuel cell. LCCI is the key to overcoming the stigma of poor fuel economy with past flexible fueled spark-ignition engines. LCCI provides the efficiency of a diesel engine without the emissions concerns. And when combined with hybrid technology, the efficiency approaches that of the methanol fuel cell vehicle, at much lower cost. Although methanol in fuel cells is also a good choice, it will take many years for the cost of fuel cells to come down to a point where automakers are willing to abandon their conventional piston engine tooling. What is proposed in this book is a way to make methanol mainstream throughout the entire transportation network, and do so relatively quickly, by enabling its use in both fuel cells and piston engines at the same time.
