The current status of the technologies of alcohol utilization in highway transportation spark ignition engines is reviewed. The use of methanol, ethanol and higher alcohols as neat fuels and in blends is reviewed in this volume. The topics covered include fuel properties, engine performance, vehicle driveability, exhaust emissions, materials compatibility, and environmental, health and safety considerations. The status of the technology at the time of the last comprehensive study (1981) is summarized and discussed. Significant advances made since 1981 are discussed. Remaining information gaps and areas in which more extensive investigation is needed are identified. 63 figs., 46 tabs. (ERA citation 13:030177)
