LeBlanc said a collaborative initiative among industry, end-users and government is required to bring the benefits of DME to the forefront of alternative energy discussion in North America, particularly in the US. DME is synthesized from methanol, whether produced from coal, natural gas or biomass such as harvested forestry wastes.

The K6 engine uses six strokes instead of four to reduce the pressure of exhaust gases, which allows it to harvest more energy rather than expelling it with the gas. Slowly decompressing the gases would waste less of that energy and make for a much quieter engine. —Timothy Shedd.
