Feasibility Analysis Of Alcohol Alternative Fuels Vehicles

Auto industry development put more and more pressure on energy sources and circumstance. So many countries strengthen the alternative fuels research. The American, Japan and brail have already development the alternative fuels research for many years, the technology of alcohol alternative fuels vehicles is approved feasibility. The report has analyzed the feasibility of using methanol and ethanol fuels vehicles in china.The production volume reached 4.44 million units and the civil automobile in use reached 24.2 million units in 2003, The production volume in China was fourth in the world, reach 6-7% of that in the world. Chinese automotive industry has become the important part of that of world. The development of automotive industry has promoted powerfully development of economic; moreover automotive industry put more and more pressure to energy and environment. The energy has been an important problem that all countries people take into account when they formulated development stratagem。The petroleum is important one-off energy. The consumption of petroleum increases from road transportation. China is a absent- country. as the automobile is widespread. Over half Chinese petroleum need imported in 2020. The alcohol alternative fuels can solve the problems of the lack of oils and environmental protection, reducing the over dependence on petrol to the utmost extent and ensuring energy safety and realizing the sustainable development of the auto industry.In coping with China's energy structure and the demand of environment protection, developing alternative petroleum products in China is of extremely important strategic significance. As one kind of liquid fuels, alcohol fuels are very close to the conventional petrol and diesel in terms of storage, distribution, carriage and utilization. Also, their resources are rich and good in burning and clean. the per capita grain yield of China has exceeded the annual demand since 1996. Because of the insufficient processing capacity and the unitary marketing channel of grains, grain price has been going down and farmers face a phenomenon of increasing their output without any increasing in income brought to them. Application of ethanol fuel not only solved the resource and environment problem, but also could lighten the burden of farmer efficiently. Therefore, it was widely regarded and commended by the experts of automobile t industry.The work should aim at providing the society with clean fuels which are reliable in supply, acceptable in price and friendly to the environment. To this end, it needs to conduct researches in an all round way, including the production and technology of alternative petrol products, combustion, dynamic property, safety, economy, social interests, etc. US, Germany, Canada, France, Japan, Brazil, Sweden and New Zealand many companies are all striving for the research, test, demonstration and extension of alcohol vehicles and listed them as clean fuels by their countries.As coal resources is rich in China, we can develop methanol fuel vehicle. But the ability of product and technical level is low in methanol producer which has to be further improved or rebuilt. About methanol fuel vehicle, we did a lot of research and development and running test .We made some progress in improving vehicle exhaust and power and developed the special methanol fuel engine. According to foreign experience, it is an appropriate way to adopt M85 whose ratio of methanol is high .And in order to make the best of M85, it is required to use flexible fuel engine. From the view of economy of methanol fuel, the average cost of methanol producers haven't reach the need. It is required to reconstruct the equipment of methanol in existence to make the output increased of methanol fuel and other methanol which can be realized through reconstruct or rebuild. The cost of methanol product is the lowest and the economy is better if great methanol project is constructed in rich resource area. The economy of methanol alternative fuel is better than ethanol alternative f...
