Research Summary
Dimethyl ether (DME) is a colorless and flammable gas with the chemical formula CH3OCH3. It is an alternative fuel and energy source that can be produced from various feedstocks, including natural gas, biomass, and coal. DME has gained attention as a potential substitute for conventional diesel fuel due to its clean-burning properties, low emissions of pollutants, and compatibility with existing diesel engines and infrastructure. It is used as a transportation fuel in some regions, particularly for buses and trucks, as well as in industrial applications like aerosol propellants, refrigerants, and chemical synthesis. As a renewable and cleaner-burning energy source, DME offers the potential to contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved air quality in various sectors.
