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.
