Australia CSIRO and India CSIR launch A$6M partnership on dimethyl ether

Green Car Congress

DME is non-toxic and non-carcinogenic and can be produced from natural gas (NG), coal, biomass, or even directly from carbon dioxide. The carbon intensity of the DME will vary with the feedstock. Both Australia and India are currently unable to meet demand for petroleum products with domestic production alone. Earlier post.).

CSIRO and partners to test Direct Injection Carbon Engine to reduce brown coal emissions by up to 50%

Green Car Congress

DICE involves converting coal or biomass into a water-based slurry (called micronised refined carbon, MRC) that is directly injected into a large, specially adapted diesel engine. The process has very high conversion efficiency >97% (LCA); he fuel choice determines the carbon footprint. DICE development network.
