An evaluation of the implementation possibilities of power-to-fuel (PTF) technologies by a team from Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH in Germany recommends the PTF products DME, OME 3-5 and n-alkanes as suitable diesel alternatives for the transportation sector. In addition, fossil diesel would no longer be required.

The resulting biofuel, n -butanol, is a carbon-neutral fuel alternative that can be used in blends with diesel or gasoline. We hope that it can be a steppingstone for future sustainable solar fuel production. 2021) “n-Butanol production by Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1.” —Wei Bai.

(OME1 is made from methanol on a commercial scale and has a cetane number of 38; it can be mixed with additives to produce OME1a diesel fuel (CN 48).). The comparative figure for diesel is 113 g/km CO 2.). DME burns in the diesel engine without producing soot and offers the basis for extensive NO x reduction inside the engine.

DME offers performance that is similar to diesel, making it suited for fleets that have to haul heavy loads. DME produces zero soot, zero sulfur oxides (SO x ), less NO x and also significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel (especially if made from biogas). DME is a gas under ambient conditions. Earlier post.).

No significant impact on the supply of agricultural commodities for the production of food. Accordingly, the DON [Department of the Navy] has adopted a goal of, by 2020, replacing one-half of conventional petroleum-based fuel use with domestically sustainable fuel alternatives. —Memorandum of Understanding.
