TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of methanol-fuelled engines with gasoline and diesel engines and showed that the latter can achieve diesel-like efficiencies and emission levels comparable to or lower than gasoline engines.

TL;DR: The use of hydrogen derived methanol in spark-ignition engines forms a promising approach to decarbonizing transport and securing domestic energy supply as discussed by the authors, however, there is a clear distinction between engines specifically designed for hydrogen or methanoline operation and flex-fuel engines, which should also run on gasoline.
