Review and Optimization of Legislation and Policy Formulation for China’s Methanol Fuel Industry Under the “Dual Carbon” Goal

Abstract

As a crucial component of clean energy, methanol fuel plays a pivotal role in advancing energy structure transformation and achieving the “dual carbon” goals. However, the development of China’s methanol fuel industry currently faces numerous challenges, hindering its progress. An analysis of the current status of legislation and policy formulation for the industry reveals that inadequate legislation, contradictions in economic incentive policies, inconsistent standard systems, and insufficient attention to supporting infrastructure construction have weakened the role of policies and laws in promoting industrial development. Therefore, in the future, China should focus on improving the legal framework for the methanol fuel industry, optimizing economic incentive policies, refining the methanol fuel standard system, and rationally planning the construction of supporting infrastructure. This will help explore an energy consumption system that not only ensures energy security but also achieves clean utilization and environmental friendliness.
