Blue Power Strategy

Dimethyl Ether(DME)

• Can be produced from a wide variety of fossil and bio-based materials

• Easy to store and transport (liquefies at low pressure & no venting)

• High well-to-wheel efficiency

• Clean (near zero soot) combustion

• Excellent diesel cycle fuel (high cetane)

• Non toxic and low GWP (.3 @ 100 yrs)

• Cost effective

• Power density adequate for long range

DME As Alternative Fuel

DME As Alternative Fuel

Production facilities use agricultural bio-waste as input for DME fuel production

Hydrocarbons converted to DME and water, thus reducing carbon footprint Process consumes up to 50% of CO2

Over 90% of GHG emissions sequestered; would be otherwise burned off

Two projects running from 2012 - 2016

Objectives: Develop a concept plug-in hybrid drayage truck and validate technical and commercial feasibility of PHEV technology

• Ability for fully zero-emission electric mode for limited distances at low speeds

• Potential for engine downsizing

• Test two trucks in field test operations

Volvo SuperTruck

OverviewA leadership initiative that brings together experts from the private, nonprofit, public, and academic sectors to help companies understand the greatest impacts of their transportation fuel, and what they can do about them.

Members & Partners

VisionA transportation fuel system that is sustainable, resilient, and affordable.

MissionTo identify and promote transportation fuel pathways that enhance the sustainability of available and emerging fuel choices

Objectives1. Accelerate Low Carbon Development2. Improve Sustainability of All Fuels3. Build Better Public Dialog and Understanding

ActivitiesThrough a series of research papers, facilitated discussions, and innovative technology partnerships, we are exploring and addressing key impacts from the whole “well to wheel” lifecycle of fuels, while bringing better transportation fuels to scale. Stakeholder dialog in 2014 includes May 8 (CA) and Nov 3 (NY).
