Renewable DME (rDME)

DME (dimethyl ether) - is a safe, clean-burning, sustainable fuel that can support defossilisation. What is renewable DME? Dimethyl ether is a single molecule that can be manufactured from a wide range of renewable resources. DME is chemically similar to propane and butane, and is gaseous at room temperature and pressure. Like LPG, it is easy to transport as a liquid. rDME can reduce emissions by up to 85% compared to diesel and heating oil DME has been used as an aerosol in the chemical sector for over 50 years. Other uses include fuel, domestic use and industrial heating.
