As an excellent substitute for conventional diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), dimethyl ether (DME) has been in the center of attention for several years. Besides, DME is also regarded as an emerging downstream outlet for the consecutively expanded methanol capacity. It is noticeable that, in 2007, DME is fairly well developed in China. DME capacity increased to 3,000kt by the end of 2007, quadrupled from 2006 capacity. China DME industry is experiencing and will witness an explosive growth with numerous new projects all over the country. How is the China DME industry? How about the profitability against expanding supply? How about its major downstream market of liquefied petroleum gas? Is there any development of DME vehicles? All these questions are pondered in this report. This report is based on the most comprehensive database of DME capacity and production, which are first-hand collected by CBI. Integrated with CBI’s unique intelligence in upstream (methanol) and downstream (oil and gas) markets, this report provides an updated and foresighted analysis on China DME market.
