Business News Agency September 20: The "alcohol fuel vehicle" media conference jointly sponsored by the Organizing Committee of the China International Industrial Fair Auto Pavilion and the China Automotive Engineering Society was held in Shanghai on September 17. A message will be uploaded: At the 2011 China International Industry Fair held from November 1st to 5th, the “alcohol fuel vehicle” zone will be set up for the first time in the auto museum.

At that time, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shanghai, which are included in the Methanol Automobile pilot project of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, will showcase innovative technologies and operations; a domestic batch of alcohol ether raw materials and additive manufacturers and methanol gasoline manufacturers will actively participate in the exhibition; the exhibition will also hold the alcohol ether fuel development forum. It promotes the alcohol ether fuel industry with Chinese characteristics and conducts exchanges and discussions on issues such as technology, market, policy, and cooperation.

China's current car ownership has exceeded 100 million. The new amount of gasoline consumed each year in recent years is equivalent to the creation of a new 20-million-ton refinery. This year's domestic oil dependence has exceeded 55%. At the conference, Han Lu, the deputy secretary-general of the China Association of Automotive Engineers, pointed out that under the background of the shortage of oil resources, the diversification of vehicle energy has become an inevitable trend. Due to the rapid advancement of technology, methanol, dimethyl ether, natural gas and biodiesel And so on, can meet the needs of the internal combustion engine.

In response to reporters' doubts about the safety of methanol fuel, Huang Yiheng, president of Huayi Group and chairman of Shanghai Coking Co., Ltd., introduced that in recent years, Shanghai Coking and Huapu Automobile Co., Ltd. have cooperated and have made significant progress in the industrialization of methanol fuel and methanol automobiles. Breakthrough, recently, nearly 30 taxis in Minhang District of Shanghai are using M100 methanol fuel and are equipped with refueling stations. They have been used for more than half a year. They have good safety and economic efficiency. The driver can increase income by about RMB 1,000 per person per month. Huang Deheng said that there are currently misunderstandings about the toxicity of methanol. In fact, methanol toxicity is the same as gasoline. Li Dongsheng, chairman of Zhejiang Jiuran New Energy Group, stated that since the July 28th M30 "high clean methanol gasoline" was listed on the private gas station in Jiaxing City, which was included in the pilot of methanol car in Zhejiang Province, it has sold 240,000 in one month in total. l, refueling 11,000 times, the failure rate is zero.

The promotion and development of methanol fuel involves the government, industry, enterprises, standards and security. Participants said that the government needs to take the lead to carry out coordination and efforts in all aspects to standardize and unify the methanol fuel standards, filling station standards, and additive standards.
