While Hydrogen IC engine and Hydrogen fuel cell are making frequent news in mainstream media, silently few are are testing Methanol engine. Ashok Leyland in collaboration with IISc built a prototype of 100% Methanol engine. Test results seems to be promising. We already saw an Indian Railways locomotive running on Methanol engine based on collab with IOCL. Nice to see Indian government being technology agnostic when it comes to Powertrain mix. Niti Aayog too is involved in this Methanol engine.
So I would say it’s nice to keep some Methanol companies in radar. Eg. GNFC, Vinati Organics etc.,
