DME is synthesized from methanol, whether produced from coal, natural gas or biomass such as harvested forestry wastes. It will produce up to 40 million gallons of BioDME or other renewable motor fuels a year. Chemrec pioneered the Fuels-from-the-Forest biofuels biorefinery concept, which can produce BioDME.
