Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Methanol fuel" in English language version.
It is used in large quantities (more than 98 Mt in 2019), primarily as a feedstock for chemicals (80%) and in smaller volumes as an energy carrier (20%).
The results on the Audi-engine indicate that methanol is more EGR tolerant than gasoline, due to its higher flame speed. An EGR tolerance of 27 % was found when methanol was used. The efficiencies of the methanol-fueled engine obtained with EGR are higher to those obtained with throttled stoichiometric operation.
