Promotion of methanol for vehicles welcomes major benefits

On March 19, eight departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Guiding Opinions on the Application of Methanol Vehicles in Some Regions”, focusing on Shanxi, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Gansu and other areas with relatively good resource endowments. We will accelerate the application of M100 methanol vehicles in areas with good experience in operating methanol vehicles. Industry insiders said that methanol vehicles have received a “pass” for marketization, which is a major benefit to the promotion of methanol for vehicles.

<span style="font-size: 16px" Already mature, the domestic methanol promotion volume for vehicles in 2018 was around 900,000 tons. Although automobile companies have completed industrial development, the country has not liberalized access to methanol vehicles.

Zhang Erhong, general manager of Methanol Era Alliance (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., emphasized in an interview that the issuance of the guidance , which provides a market “pass” for the methanol automobile industry and clarifies methanol’s status as a new energy source. According to him, in 2012, the country began to pilot the promotion of methanol vehicles. In the first half of 2018, several ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly conducted acceptance inspections for the pilot project of methanol vehicles. Judging from the acceptance results, the data is very eye-catching. Not only are methanol vehicles safe to operate, methanol is also economical as a vehicle fuel, and its emissions are also environmentally friendly. The 8 departments announced this guidance, which on the one hand clarified the feasibility of methanol as a vehicle fuel and on the other hand affirmed the safety and stability of methanol vehicles.

Zhang Erhong pointed out that the document emphasizes that all regions can develop methanol vehicles according to local conditions, which is a major benefit to the promotion of methanol vehicles. But this is only a guideline, and subsidies and other details are not mentioned. The promotion of methanol vehicles still depends on the market. Whether it can grow bigger depends on the enterprise itself.

            It is noted that the promotion opinions include the construction of methanol automobile manufacturing system, the construction of methanol fuel production and filling system and The three aspects of the construction of the methanol vehicle standard system provide directional guidance for the promotion and application of methanol vehicles, and agree on relevant content necessary for scientific and sustainable development. In order to ensure the market development of the promotion and application of methanol vehicles, the guidance also clearly explains the promotion and application fields of methanol vehicles, supervision and improvement of safeguard measures. Among them, methanol fuel production enterprises should organize production in strict accordance with the national standard requirements of “Methanol for Vehicle Fuels” (GB/T23510-2009), establish a complete quality control and safety management system for production, storage, transportation and other links to ensure that methanol fuel products quality.

At the just-concluded National Two Sessions, representatives from Shaanxi also proposed the development of methanol vehicles and methanol fuel made suggestions, emphasizing that Shaanxi is a coal-rich province and Xi’an is suitable for the development of methanol fuel.
