甲醇能源的发展与应用现状

Development and Application Status of Methanol Energy

甲醇燃料作为高效环保的替代能源,正逐渐从实验研究向实际应用转变。在交通领域,其主要应用在传统的内燃机和燃料电池上。甲醇内燃机汽车已在中国的部分城市开始试点运行,但仍需完善法规标准和国家政策给予相应的支持。甲醇燃料电池由于H2可现场制取,安全可靠,避免了储氢运氢的难题,也是目前各大车企和能源公司研究的热点,现主要的研究方向有CO的去除、高效低成本催化剂制取和微通道反应器等。

As an efficient and environmental alternative energy,methanol fuel is gradually changing from experimental research to practical application.In the field of transportation,it is mainly used in the traditional internal combustion engine and fuel cell.Methanol internal combustion engine have been put into trial operation in some cities in China,but they still need to be supported by laws,standards and national policies.Methanol fuel cell is safe and reliable because H2 can be produced on site,which avoids the problem of hydrogen storage and transportation.It is also the research hotspot of major vehicle enterprises and energy companies at present.The main research directions include CO removal,high-efficiency and low-cost catalyst preparation and microchannel reactor.
