摘要近年来，甲醇作为一种能源载体被频繁提出。高存储容量，易于存储和与现有燃料的相似性使其成为能源存储的一个有趣的选择。然而，甲醇的使用受到其低沸点和毒性的限制，并且甲醇经济的能量平衡是有争议的。从制氢、甲醇合成与运输、再动力等方面分析了甲醇经济不同情景下的净能源比和可再生性因子。看来，基于甲醇的能量存储的整体效率相当低，但由于高的可再生性因素，仍然是可持续的。
Abstract Methanol has been proposed frequently as an energy carrier in recent years. High storage capacity, easy manageability and similarity to existing fuels make it an interesting option for energy storage. However, the usage of methanol is constrained by its low boiling point and its toxicity and the energy balance of a methanol economy is disputable. Net energy ration and renewability factor for different scenarios of a methanol economy have been analyzed, considering hydrogen production, methanol synthesis and transport and repowering. It appears that the overall efficiency of methanol based energy storage is rather low, but still can be sustainable due to a high renewability factors.
