چکیده
Abstract Climate change and the unsustainability of fossil fuels are calling for cleaner energies such as methanol a fuel. Methanol is one simplest molecules energy storage utilized to generate wide range products. Since can be produced from biomass, numerous countries could produce utilize biomethanol. Here, we review production processes, techno-economy, environmental viability. Lignocellulosic biomass with high cellulose hemicellulose content highly suitable gasification-based biomethanol production. Compared fuels, combustion reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by up 80%, carbon dioxide 95%, eliminates sulphur emission. The cost yield largely depend on feedstock characteristics, initial investment, plant location. use complementary fuel diesel, natural gas, dimethyl ether beneficial in terms economy, thermal efficiency, reduction greenhouse gas emissions.

Stochastic techno-economic analysis of alcohol-to-jet fuel production
BACKGROUND Alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) is one of the technical feasible biofuel technologies. It produces jet fuel from sugary, starchy, and lignocellulosic biomass, such as sugarcane, corn grain, and switchgrass, via fermentation of sugars to ethanol or other alcohols. This study assesses the ATJ biofuel production pathway for these three biomass feedstocks, and advances existing techno-economic anal...
متن کاملFunctionalized and Electrospun Polymeric Materials as High-Performance Membranes for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell: A Review
Proton exchange membranes (PEM) for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) have main drawbacks which are methanol permeability, reduced proton conductivity and the cost of the membrane. This paper reviews different polymeric materials such as fluorinated, non-fluorinated, acid-base complex, and composite membranes for DMFC. Currently, nonfluorinated membranes gain a lot of atte...
متن کاملNon-catalytic biodiesel fuel production with supercritical methanol technologies
Study presents that supercritical methanol has the ability to convert oils/fats consisting of triglycerides and free fatty acids (FFAs) into fatty acid methyl esters through transesterification and methyl esterification, respectively, without any catalyst. This one-step method (Saka process) is simpler process realizing shorter reaction time and higher yield of methyl esters than those of the c...
متن کاملTowards a methanol economy based on homogeneous catalysis: methanol to H2 and CO2 to methanol.
The possibility to implement both the exhaustive dehydrogenation of aqueous methanol to hydrogen and CO2 and the reverse reaction, the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and water, may pave the way to a methanol based economy as part of a promising renewable energy system. Recently, homogeneous catalytic systems have been reported which are able to promote either one or the other of the two react...
متن کاملGlobal Fuel Economy Initiative
The critical distinction between the technical potential to improve fuel economy and how much of that technical potential is realized .. Summary The Global Fuel Economy Initiative was launched in early 2009. It set a target of improving the average fuel economy (in litre/100km terms) for the global vehicle light-duty vehicle fleet by at least 50% by 2050 (50by50). In terms of miles per gallon t...
