- •
We simulate dimethyl ether production from renewable hydrogen and captured CO2.
- •
A comparative life-cycle assessment is performed for methanol and dimethyl ether.
- •
Cradle-to-gate emissions produced for methanol, DME, wind-based H2 and captured CO2.
- •
Cradle-to-grave metrics compared to petroleum and conventionally produced fuels.
- •
Renewable routes greatly reduce GHG emissions and lower fossil fuel consumption.
