Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Committee* * For many years, the promotion of methanol fuel has been regarded as an important measure for industrial upgrading, energy conservation and emission reduction in the province. After more than 20 years of research demonstration and commercial operation practice, remarkable results have been achieved, and the research and development and application of methanol fuel have reached the world's advanced level. ”Eleventh National * * Representative, Shanxi Province * * Deputy Director, Chairman of International Alcohol Fuel Conference * , Xie Kechang, President of Taiyuan University of Technology, recently * * period indicated. 　　Xie Kechang said that as the country's energy and heavy chemical industry base, Shanxi Province has abundant coal reserves, a complete coal chemical industry, a strong research foundation and high-quality scientific research talents. Over the years, Shanxi Province has relied on Taiyuan University of Technology and other research institutes to carry out a number of research on the synthesis of coal-based alcohol ether fuels, fuel preparation and vehicle applications, and has obtained more than 20 independent intellectual property rights in coal-based synthesis gas conversion, coal bed methane utilization and other aspects. * * Provincial and ministerial level advanced technology and scientific research results. 　　“As the first * Scientist, I am now responsible for a * * The key basic research project is what we usually call the '973' research project. It is to use our low-quality coal, the gasified coal gas obtained through gasification and the coke oven gas abundant in Shanxi to produce methanol and electricity, improve the energy conversion rate and resource use efficiency, and also reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the source and save water. ”Xie Kechang said that as the national methanol fuel and methanol vehicle demonstration base, Shanxi Province was the first * * The methanol fuel demonstration and promotion areas promoted have achieved remarkable results after 20 years of research, demonstration and commercial operation practice. Currently, there are more than 4,000 vehicles using methanol as alternative fuel in 11 cities across the province. Now methanol’s alternative to automobile fuel has been proven to be economical, energy-saving and emission-reducing, and feasible. “Last year, our Shanxi Province sold more than 500,000 tons of M15 methanol gasoline, and filled more than 30 million vehicles. ”
