about DME(Dimethyl Ether)
DME is a fuel which is pure and rich in hydrogen as the chemical structure (CH3-O-CH3) shows. Moreover, it is possible to treat as liquid at normal ambient temperatures as its boiling point is -25°C.
In the case of burning DME, there are no emissions of SOx or particulate and the emissions of NOx, and CO2, which are causes of global warming, are extremely small. DME can be called the "Clean Energy Media in the 21st Century".
DME is expected to be regarded as new energy, being available for various purposes such as an LPG alternative and clean fuel for power generation, a substitute to LNG, coal and petroleum, for diesel engines and fuel cells.
