Methanol as an alternative transportation fuel in the US: Options for sustainable and/or energy-secure transportation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methanol has been promoted as an alternative transportation fuel from time to time over the past forty years. In spite of significant efforts to realize the vision of methanol as a practical transportation fuel in the US, such as the California methanol fueling corridor of the 1990s, it did not succeed on a large scale.
