Dimethyl ether (DME) has been attracting the attention of industry as a clean fuel for the 21st century. NKK has been conducting its own DME synthesis research since 1989. Operational research was performed in 5 tons-DME production/day pilot, which operated continuously under very stable conditions for periods up to two months. These studies led to the successful synthesis of DME from methane directly from coal layers. Through the driving tests with a diesel truck, it was confirmed that DME was high potential to be used as an alternative fuel. A feasibility study of DME fuel system, which includes production of DME from natural gas and its transportation to Japan, indicates the DME is competitive to conventional fuels.
