This report was prepared basing the results upon the field survey in China during the period January through May 1988. In China, the Seventh Five-Year Program is now being carried out and the established target is to quadruple national income in a 20 year period from 1981 through 2000. It is planned to secure the supply of energy in the future mainly with coal, and from the viewpoints that the demand of fuel for transportation in the future is expected to increase greatly and that she has such feedstock for methanol as coal abundantly, she is very active in the development concerning the introduction of methanol as automobile fuel. In this survey, the basic survey concerning the policy of oil alternate energy including (1) the countermeasure concerning fuel for transportation, (2) the current situation of the research and development of methanol automobiles as one of the oil alternate policies and its appropriate assessment and (3) the current situation and the future prospect of methanol as fuel was conducted and the consolidation of information for the examination of the feasibility of the cooperation between Japan and China in the future was made.
