When it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s made from natural gas, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s called simply DME. Bio-DME is estimated to achieve a reduction of 95% in carbon emissions. It is also less noisy compared with traditional engines. The Volvo trucks are being fuelled with Bio-DME produced from black liquor, a by-product of the pulp industry.<br \/>\n<!--adsense#300--><\/p>\n<p>The fuel will come from Chemrec&#8217;s pilot plant in Pite\u00c3\u00a5, which will have the capacity to produce four tonnes of Bio-DME a day. The opening ceremony will take place tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Filling stations will be built by Preem and the first one was inaugurated in Stockholm yesterday (September 7). Other stations will be opened in G\u00c3\u00b6teborg, J\u00c3\u00b6nk\u00c3\u00b6ping and Pite\u00c3\u00a5.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From an over-riding perspective, Bio-DME is one of the most promising second-generation biofuels. It provides both high energy efficiency and extremely low emissions of greenhouse gases,&#8221; said Volvo Trucks Environmental Director Lars M\u00c3\u00a5rtensson.<\/p>\n<p>The EU believes Bio-DME could replace half of today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s diesel usage for heavy commercial transportation by 2030.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/protest-in-london-against-uk-biofuel-subsidies\/\" title=\"Protest in London Against UK Biofuel Subsidies\">Protest in London Against UK Biofuel Subsidies<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/un-panel-issues-statement-on-biofuels\/\" title=\"UN panel issues statement on biofuels\">UN panel issues statement on biofuels<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/australia-pumps-money-into-aviation-biofuel-research\/\" title=\"Australia Pumps Money Into Aviation Biofuel Research\">Australia Pumps Money Into Aviation Biofuel Research<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/israeli-researchers-see-biofuel-potential-in-seaweed\/\" title=\"Israeli Researchers See Biofuel Potential in Seaweed\">Israeli Researchers See Biofuel Potential in Seaweed<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/algae-oil-company-one-to-watch\/\" title=\"Algae Oil Company &#8216;One To Watch&#8217;\">Algae Oil Company &#8216;One To Watch&#8217;<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volvo has announced it has prepared the first five DME Volvo FH trucks for Swedish Roads.
