DME is synthesized from methanol, whether produced from coal, natural gas or biomass such as harvested forestry wastes. Addressing methanol marketers at the conference, LeBlanc noted that converting methanol into DME offers the methanol industry a new market for its product. Chemrec is currently building BioDME production plants in Sweden.
