Potential air quality benefits of methanol as a vehicle fuel

Abstract

Air pollution regulation in industrial cities limits economic growth. Cleaner vehicles can reduce this effect by reducing pollution. The air quality and consequent economic benefits of methanol are assessed. Air pollution is a pervasive by-product of industrial development. Substitution of cleaner fuels for the current generation of fossil fuels can reduce the need for and economic cost of traditional add-on pollution controls. I will assess the potential of methanol to reduce vehicle emissions, and consequently to reduce regulatory pressure on industry and economic growth. The impact of releasing capital investment from pollution control to other productive uses and preserving existing manufacturing jobs are two of the economic benefits addressed.
