It is not legal that the catering industry generally uses environmentally-friendly oil as fuel. The so-called "environmental protection oil" usually contains more than 91% methanol, mixed with flammable components such as ethanol and gasoline, and this formula liquid has been clearly included in the List of Hazardous Chemicals. According to the State Council No.591 Regulations on the Management of Hazardous Chemicals, there are strict regulations on the storage and management of hazardous chemicals. They should be stored in special facilities, which should be in charge of by special personnel. The warehouse facilities should meet the national standards, and obvious signs should be set up to ensure a safe distance from fire sources and heat sources, and the temperature of the warehouse should not exceed 37℃. At the same time, it is forbidden to use equipment and tools that may cause sparks.

however, environmentally friendly oil is not a safe choice. Due to its flammable and explosive characteristics, improper installation of pipeline may lead to explosion risk. In addition, incomplete combustion or volatilization of methanol will pose a threat to human health, especially long-term damage to the central nervous system, respiratory tract and optic nerve. Therefore, places such as Honggutan in Nanchang have completely banned the use of "environmental oil". When seeking alternative fuels, the catering industry should fully consider regulations and safety factors and choose more compliant and safe energy options.
