Ford Europe leading project investigating DME and OME1 as low carbon, near zero particulate fuels; power-to-liquids pathways using CO2

Green Car Congress

OME1 is made from methanol on a commercial scale and has a cetane number of 38; it can be mixed with additives to produce OME1a diesel fuel (CN 48).). The growth of the world’s population is putting ever-increasing demands on energy and especially fossil fuels.

Monash/Hokkaido team produces diesel blend fuel via CO2 hydrogenation in methanol over new catalyst

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Monash University and Hokkaido University have developed a method to produce dimethoxymethane (DMM)—a diesel blend fuel currently of great research interest—via CO 2 hydrogenation in methanol over a novel ruthenium-based catalyst. Their paper is published in the Journal of Energy Chemistry.
