Methanol production in 2009

2010-03-02View Original

Thread Content

In December 2009, China's monthly methanol production was 1.0702 million tons, an increase of 51.10% compared with the same period in 2008. The provinces with the highest output are: Shaanxi produced 134,700 tons, Inner Mongolia 130,900 tons, and Shandong 134,800 tons. Compared with the same period in 2008, Inner Mongolia increased by 68.2%, Henan increased by 53%, and Shandong increased by 53.4%. From January to December 2009, China produced a total of 11.334 million tons of methanol, a year-on-year decrease of 1.6% from 2008.

Thank you. The data is not very accurate, right? The way out for methanol is a difficult problem. Methanol gasoline has not been used on a large scale. I don’t know why. Please give me some advice.

At present, the methanol gasoline used in the Chinese market mainly includes M5, M15, M50, M85 and M100. M5 methanol gasoline can be used directly without changing the structure of the engine. It does not affect the power performance of the car. Its consumption is the same as gasoline, but the economy is not obvious. M15 methanol gasoline is composed of No. 90 gasoline, methanol and a series of co-solvents. Starting from March 2, 1999, M15 methanol gasoline prepared by Shanghai Coking Co., Ltd. was used on Santana and other vehicles for trial use. The results showed that compared with gasoline, using M15 methanol gasoline can save 1.9 yuan per 100 kilometers. M50 methanol gasoline is methanol gasoline prepared by adding a certain amount of modifier without changing the structure of the engine. Currently, there is M50 methanol gasoline produced by Luohe Petrochemical Group Co., Ltd. on the market. The company's tests show that using clean methanol gasoline reduces fuel consumption by an average of 1.18L per 100 kilometers, and the fuel saving rate is 8.7%. The M100 all-methanol combustion device is a major improvement on the fuel supply system, heating system, gearbox, etc. of the traditional gasoline engine. The improved engine can burn 100% methanol without using gasoline, and the operating cost is 25% lower than that of a gasoline engine. The power is equivalent to that of ordinary gasoline engines. Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in tail gas emissions are reduced by 55% to 90%, and the environmental protection effect is outstanding. The cost of methanol gasoline is lower. Vehicles using methanol gasoline can reduce fuel consumption by 7%-25% compared with traditional gasoline.

After years of experimental research and promotion and demonstration, my country's methanol fuel has entered a turning stage of development and is moving from the market introduction period to the market growth period. With methanol fuel relevant by the end of this year or early next year * * With the promulgation and implementation of standards, the pace of utilization of methanol fuel is expected to accelerate in 2009. This is the analysis and prediction of relevant experts at the 17th International Alcohol Fuel Conference that ended on October 16. According to Peng Zhigui, honorary president of the China Alcohol Ether Fuel and Alcohol Ether Automobile Professional Committee, about 18 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the country have carried out the research and development and promotion of methanol fuel, and have formed a regional joint development trend. Among them, Shanxi Province had established more than 700 methanol filling stations by the end of 2007, and filled 40 million vehicles. ; At the same time, taxis, buses and economical cars are undergoing methanol transformation. Currently, the province has 2,000 M100 taxis and 260 MIOO buses. More than 60% of the buses in Changzhi City use methanol gasoline as fuel. Shaanxi Province has conducted pilot projects in four cities: Xi'an, Baoji, Yan'an and Yulin, and will expand to the entire province by the end of this year.   According to reports, my country has also made breakthroughs in the development of methanol-fueled vehicles. Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and Geely Holding Group Shanghai Huapu Automobile Co., Ltd. have developed methanol flexible fuel vehicles (FFV) ; In addition, FAW Group and Shanxi jointly invested in a company to produce methanol fuel engines and will jointly develop methanol diesel engines ; Taiyuan University of Technology and other universities have also carried out research and development of dimethyl ether engines. At present, the methanol transformation of vehicles in use has developed from Shanxi to Shaanxi, Heilongjiang, Sichuan, Shandong, Henan and other places. Shanghai's dimethyl ether buses have also been put into demonstration operation.   Experts attending the meeting said that the biggest driver of rational utilization of methanol fuel in my country is the formulation of policy guidance and standards. At present, our country has initially formed three * * A three-level standard system consisting of national standards, 40 local standards and about 400 enterprise standards. According to Peng Zhigui, these three * * (M85 methanol gasoline standard, vehicle fuel methanol standard, M15 vehicle methanol gasoline standard) will be officially promulgated and implemented at the end of this year or early next year. By then, my country's methanol fuel utilization will be fully promoted.
