High Energy Alcohol-based Fuel What kind of fuel is it? Does it work? It's not a scam, is it?

Alcohol-based fuel is a fuel configured with alcohol (such as methanol, ethanol, butanol, etc.) substances as the main body. In liquid form is called alcohol-based liquid fuel. Alcohol-based fuel can also be biomass energy, and nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, as well as the governments of various countries are currently vigorously promoting environmentally friendly clean energy; in the face of the depletion of fossil energy, alcohol-based fuel is the most promising new alternative energy. Alcohol-based fuels come from a wide range of sources - alcohols can be derived from fossil fuels (e.g., coal, oil, natural gas can produce methanol), but also from biomass bio-fermentation production (e.g., ethanol, butanol, etc.), so alcohol-based fuels can also be biomass energy. Alcohol-based fuels come in a variety of forms - they can be made into liquid fuels, solid fuels (e.g., solid alcohol), and they can produce gaseous fuels (e.g., synthesizing dimethyl ether from methanol). Alcohol-based fuels have obvious economic comparability - and gasoline, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas compared to the price per unit of calorific value than the calculation, the current fuel methanol is the most cost-effective. Alcohol-based fuels are green energy - and coal, coal tar, heavy oil, diesel, gasoline, compared to alcohol-based fuels combustion is the most complete and thorough, the highest thermal conversion efficiency, the cleanest, most environmentally friendly. In order to promote and standardize the promotion of alcohol-based fuels, China issued the national standard of alcohol-based liquid fuels - GB16663-1996 in 1996, and the national standard of automotive fuel methanol - GB/T 23510-2009 will also be implemented from November 1, 2009 onwards.
