Abstract:To decrease the greenhouse gas emissions of the maritime transport sector, synthetic fuels produced by combining biomass gasification and electrolytic hydrogen have been identified as relevant alternatives to fossil fuels. Dimethyl ether (DME) is a synthetic fuel that is suitable for direct use in commercial diesel ship engines. In this work, the production of DME via two different synthesis routes (one-and two-stage DME synthesis) from agricultural residues (wheat straw) or forestry residues (bamboo) and rene… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
