DME IN VAEXJOE: CONDITIONS FOR PRODUCTION AND USE
DME - DIMETYLETER I VAEXJOE: FOERUTSAETTNINGAR FOER PRODUKTION OCH ANVAENDNING
As part of its environmental awareness, Vaexjoe Municipality has the goal of being free of fossil fuels. A study has been made in collaboration with a number of industrial enterprises regarding the conditions for building a production plant for bio DME (dimethylether) and using this as fuel in the region. A possible strategy has been sketched out. The conclusions of the study are as follows: (1) DME is considered capable of reducing exhausts from diesel vehicles. Light vehicles can satisfy the American ULEV requirements, and heavy vehicles the Euro2 requirements; (2) Production of DME from bio raw materials can considerably reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; (3) In order that bio based fuels may compete with established fuels regarding cost, increased internalisation of external costs is necessary; (4) Cost of producing DME from bio is higher than producing it from natural gas; (5) Bio DME appears to be competitive with other bio fuels for diesel vehicles; (6) Production technology must be developed further, especially regarding biomass gasification and gas purification; (7) Introduction of new fuel requires co-operation from several players; (8) Local and regional market must be established prior to production; this takes time and money; (9) Ample biomass available in region; and (10) International co-operation in producing DME may be possible.
