Recently, DME has drawn attention as a new type of clean fuel that can be produced from various resources such as natural gas, coal, biomass etc. Thanks to its properties, no soot, particulate matter (PM) nor sulfur oxides are emitted and substantially lower amount of CO_2 are emitted compared to conventional fuel while DME is burned. DME has been proved to be an excellent fuel for diesel automobile, chemical feedstock, and complementary fuels for LPG. In Japan, Fuel DME Production Co., constructed 80,000tons/year capacity of fuel DME production plant for promotion purpose and started its operation in August 2008. Since them, DME has been commercially used for steam boilers and DME trucks. In China, the production capacity is projected to reach 10 million tons/year by 2010, and DME has been used as a fuel for household use by mixing with LPG. But lack of regulations of LPG/DME blending has caused some disturbance in some region. In Sweden, 7 European companies started a 4-year project from 2008 to produce DME from black liquor in a paper mill waste and to test 14 new DME heavy duty trucks for test runs.
