METHANOL AS AN ADDITIVE TO A DIESEL ENGINE
Abstract
Methanol as an additive to diesel fuel is a topic of considerable interest in the context of sustainable development in the transport sector and the reduction of harmful emissions. Methanol, a low-carbon alcohol, offers opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. However, adding methanol to diesel fuel can lead to problems such as corrosion, reduced lubrication and changes in engine performance. In conclusion, the article provides a comprehensive overview of the potential role of methanol in the sustainable future of diesel technology.
