- Countries like Japan, USA, China, Sweden, Denmark, and Korea already use DME to power vehicles.
- DME-fuelled engines emit minimal particulate, soot, and smoke without costly exhaust gas treatments.
- DME can be a feasible alternative fuel for India's agricultural and transport sectors.
Properties
- High Cetane Number: DME exhibits high ignitibility in compression ignition engines.
- Physical State: At normal atmospheric conditions, DME is a colorless gas.
Applications
- Chemical Industry: Widely used in chemical industries and as an aerosol ....
