Methanol has attracted broad attention over the past few decades as an alternative fuel for diesel and gasoline for internal combustion engines. Renewable methanol has helped methanol engines achieve almost zero carbon dioxide emissions in recent years, showing greater advantages than other fuels. The development of methanol engines has undergone a long history. The revolution of methanol engines has been closely linked to the application of energies, including oil resources, and the environment. Over the last few years, a variety of proposals on the applications of methanol engines have been put forward. Methanol engines can operate with pure methanol, blended fuel, or dual fuel. In a general sense, methanol has its unique properties, such as its high oxygen content, fast laminar burning velocity, great latent heat of vaporization, and having no C–C bond, which favors its use in advanced engine technology. A detailed discussion will be made on the in-cylinder combustion process and emissions characteristics of methanol engines, as well as some typical issues found in the application in this chapter. It is hoped that some useful points can be provided for the development and study of methanol engines.
