A methanol generator set is a device that converts the chemical energy of methanol into electrical energy. It generally uses an internal combustion engine to burn methanol to generate heat energy, which then drives the piston to move, converting the heat energy into mechanical energy. After that, a generator is used to convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Methanol is mixed with air in the internal combustion engine and then ignited by a spark plug, compression ignition, or other methods to release energy and drive the engine to operate.

The 12kW methanol generator set is a "low-carbon and safe model" for micro livelihood scenarios, designed specifically for daily backup in three-person households, community micro-supermarkets, rural convenience service stations, and outdoor temporary stalls. Equipped with ultra-low emission methanol combustion technology, its carbon emissions are reduced by more than 40% compared to traditional diesel generators, with no black smoke or peculiar smell, making it suitable for use in close-range households or shops; the body has built-in multiple safety protections, including automatic shutdown at high temperature, leakage protection, and fuel leakage alarm, which can avoid safety risks even for novice operators. The equipment is compact in size, can be easily placed on the balcony, storage room or corner of the stall without occupying too much space; it is compatible with civil standard methanol, with wide procurement channels and convenient storage, and can stably drive loads such as refrigerators, lighting, small cash registers, and convenience charging piles. It not only meets daily emergency power supply, but also supports the basic operation of micro businesses, providing a "low-carbon, safe and space-saving" power solution for livelihood scenarios.
