Abstract
⺠Methanol and gasoline operation are compared on two atmospheric flex-fuel engines. ⺠Methanol enables a relative efficiency increase of 10% while reducing NOx and CO2. ⺠Throttleless load control strategies using lean-burn and EGR are evaluated for methanol. ⺠EGR strategy allows to increase part load efficiency while maintaining low emissions. ⺠A high CR, turbo engine with this strategy reaches diesel-like efficiencies on methanol.
