摘要
Construction of the 1.0 Mt/a dimethyl ether (DME) project owned by Jiutai Energy Company was kicked off in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. This project is a joint venture project signed between Linyi municipal government of Shandong province and Ordos municipal government with construction sponsored by Shandong Jiutai Chemical Co. This dimethyl ether project has been listed in the State plan for tackling key problems in the “Tenth Five-Year Plan” period by the State Science and Technology Ministry as a project for study and demonstration of key clean automotive fuel commercialization technique. The technologies for adoption of dimethyl ether as clean energy, substitution of DME for Freon, combustion of fuel blends containing DME, and development and utilization of DME downstream products jointly developed in collaboration with Xi'an Jiaotong University are matured and are ready for market application.
