Abstract: This study aims to investigate the design and development of carbon-neutral methanol engines, providing theoretical support for sustainable development in the automotive industry. Initially, the concept of carbon-neutral methanol engines and their role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions are clarified. Through literature review and theoretical analysis, the potential of methanol as an alternative fuel and its application prospects in engine design are explored. The research methods include a systematic review of existing methanol engine technologies and a thorough analysis of engine design principles under carbon-neutral goals. The study focuses on the physicochemical properties of methanol fuel and how these properties affect engine thermal efficiency and emissions performance. Additionally, the operational characteristics of methanol engines under different conditions and optimization strategies for improving overall performance are examined. The conclusion highlights that methanol engines have significant advantages in achieving carbon neutrality, though technical challenges remain, necessitating further theoretical and engineering research. This study provides a theoretical framework and research direction for the future design and development of methanol engines, contributing to the green transition of the automotive industry.
