Mods, pakilipat na lang if i'm in the wrong forum...

Anyone heard of DME(dimethyl ether)? i read an article in today's Business Mirror; some Korean company is planning to put up a plant that will make DME fuel...based on what i've read, if gas engines have LPG, diesel engines can use DME. "Fully compatible" daw with ordinary diesel engines, and has (dunno if the terminology is correct) higher power density than diesel

It's definitely not a green fuel; it involves reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen, etc. then mixed with LPG. But with way less emissions than diesel.

Sabi dun sa article, the company will do some tests, and if for some reason di nagclick as fuel for cars, they will sell it as cooking gas...but doesn't LPG already do the job? Or baka nga dahil dun sa power density thing, mas tipid.

i'm inexplicably excited about this...sana magclick nga...tired of getting a face full of soot every time i go to the office.
