Fuel oxygen

The Energy PoHcy Act of 1992 (H.R. 776) has Hberalized the rules concerning biofuels and provides tax incentives for increased usage. Many states also have gasohol fuel tax exemptions in place, and some have enacted legislation that requites use of oxygenated fuels under certain conditions. Most of these laws impact favorably on biofuels usage.

Some isopentane is dehydrogenated to isoamylene and converted, by processes analogous to those which produce methyl /-butyl ether [1634-04-4] (MTBE) to /-amyl methyl ether [994-05-8] (TAME), which is used as a fuel octane enhancer like MTBE. The amount of TAME which the market can absorb depends mostly on its price relative to MTBE, ethyl /-butyl ether [637-92-3] (ETBE), and ethanol, the other important oxygenated fuel additives. 

World methanol consumption for 1992 is shown in Figure 10 (27). The principal use of methanol has traditionally been in the production of formaldehyde [50-00-0] where typically around 40% of the world methanol market is consumed. In the United States, an increasing role for methanol has been found in the oxygenated fuels market from the use of MTBE. Another significant use of methanol is in the production of acetic acid other uses include the production of solvents and chemical intermediates.

Demand for gasoline is 125 billion gals (473 billion 1) per year according to 1998 estimates. The Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 mandates the use of oxygenated fuels such as ethanol blends with up to 3.5 percent oxygen by weight in gasoline (E-10 or...
