Towards near-zero emission methanol engines: Coupled mechanisms of pollutant formation and combustion–catalysis synergistic control

Key Points

• Near-zero emissions of pollutants are achieved through integrating combustion and catalytic processes,
• Maximizing control is possible by targeting pollutant formation mechanisms during combustion.
• The study employs synergistic control to enhance the efficiency of methanol engines, aiding emission reduction.
• Findings suggest that optimizing these mechanisms may have a significant impact on environmental goals.
