handle is hein.gao/gaobabehi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE U.S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On Fossil And Synthetic Fuels Committee On Energy And Commerce House Of Representatives Removing Barriers To The Market Penetration Of Methanol Fuels Thisstudy examines some of the impediments confronting the dIevelopment of methanol as a commercially viable transportation fuel. The primary barriers confronting meth- anol commercialization are economic, and they are largely dependent on the price of competing fuels. I There is little the Federal Government can do to influence thesa economic factors short of providing financial incen- tives. However, certain Federal regulations may present addi ional, though less substantial, impediments. Unlike the economic barriers, regulatory factors are within the cont rol of the Federal Government. GAO believes that cer- tain )ther measures might be effective at the margin--that is, tl ey would not in themselves create widespread use of or d mand for methanol, but they might help. In tile short term, the development of a market for met anol fuel may not reduce U.S. reliance on imported energy because low priced foreign methanol is becoming avai 4able. This factor is relevant to any decision to promote methanol for national security reasons. o 122727 1z I a l X- L )GAO/RCED-84-36 r,.... OCTOBER 27, 1983
