| "DME is better than the alternative resource disgusting" |

 In last week opened the first filling station for vehicles that run on bio-fuel DME, dim ethyl ether. Meanwhile, the first factory started converting black liquor from masssaindustrin to DME. And Volvo sends out a handful of commercial DME trucks on the roads. But new techniques readers are cleaved to the new biofuel. The signature Angry judge the whole shift to green energy: both to save energy and adhere to environmentally friendly energy is a huge hypocrisy from both politicians and producers, where consumers are both reduced quality of life and higher expenses. The reader sees the other hand, Gobbles DME as a top class bio-alternative: I think the DME track is far more interesting than disgusting resource ethanol, or utopian hydrogen propulsion. We sit as I have said in some forest in our small country. I have heard any figure that if all the black liquor from pulp industry would be transformed into DME, it would cover about 25% of Sweden's lastbilsflottas needs. Although Sune’s is on this particular energy is smarter than others: The exchange of biomass is much greater than the anaerobic digestion into biogas. DME is also much easier to store than biogas. With the new burners DME can also replace diesel. Some readers are discussing the raw material, black liquor, into DME production. One of them is Marcus: Black liquor is no "residue" as many would have it. The black liquor is the chemicals used in the cooking of pulpwood. These chemicals are recovered in the recovery boiler, which also makes electricity and heat used in the mill and the community. In order to be able to make DME of black liquor, there must be a surplus of black liquor. And he may reply by Cecilia: It is possible to produce DME from all types of at biomass through a gasification process such as straw, wood chips, energy crops, etc. with very low carbon footprint. Black liquor track is attractive since it has potentially the lowest cost. But Anders bills in to the fossil trail: DME from black liquor is only hardly seems possible. DME from coal and natural gas are highly likely option. Sune's Reply: The purpose of this project is to develop technologies for future vehicles. It is a strategic drive to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and a readiness when they start and their price rises. There are a lot of research and development around the world for the same purpose. It is not today's economy is crucial; it is the future economy and reliability. |
