California-based Oberon Fuels is on a global mission to decarbonize energy by producing a powerful, enabling molecule, dimethyl ether (DME). Renewable DME, which can range from being ultra-low carbon to carbon-negative, can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the transportation sector and beyond 1) as an energy-dense, cost-effective means to move renewable hydrogen, 2) as a carbon-reducing blending agent for LPG, and 3) as a cost-effective, low-carbon, zero-soot diesel replacement. Oberon Fuels is currently the only producer of renewable dimethyl ether (DME) in the world.
Oberon Fuels is bringing DME to North America with its proprietary skid-mounted, small-scale process. DME (dimethyl ether) is a clean-burning, potentially renewable fuel and an excellent, inexpensive diesel alternative that meets strict emissions standards.
Our small-scale production units enable the development of regional fuel markets that service local customers engaged in regional haul, initially bypassing the need for a national infrastructure. In addition, capital expenditures are in sync with market growth-the initial investment is small compared to large scale plants. As the DME market develops, more small-scale production units will be deployed in each region, and new regions will be added across North America. More >>
