Dimethyl ether (DME) is a synthetically produced alternative to diesel for use in specially designed compression ignition diesel engines. Under normal atmospheric conditions, DME is a colorless gas. It is used extensively in the chemical industry and as an aerosol propellant.

 

 

DME is a non-toxic and non-carcinogenic product. DME is also environmentally friendly. During a fuel spill, DME evaporates into the air, unlike diesel, because it is stored at pressure. Also, DME is not a GreenHouse Gas (GHG) whereas natural gas (CH4) is said to be between 22 and 80x worse than CO2 as a GHG.
