Methanol economy advantages compared to a hydrogen economy: 1  Efficient energy storage by volume, as compared with compressed hydrogen. 2  A liquid hydrogen infrastructure would be prohibitively expensive. 3  Can be blended with gasoline (for example in M85, a mixture containing 85% methanol and 15% gasoline). 4  User friendly.
Two things contribute to air pollution that can cause an air quality alert: 1  Ground-Level Ozone â High-levels of ground-level ozone are frequently the cause of air quality alerts. 2  Particulate Matter â Particulate matter consists of pollutants such as dust, soot, ash and wood smoke.
More than 60 percent of individuals suffer from respiratory problems and 75 percent are concerned about the air quality in their vehicles. One survey reports U.S. car owners are largely unaware their automobiles and light trucks contain cabin air filters that should be changed at regular intervals.
