Bio-Propane

Basics

• Difficult to do from a methane upgrading route, but this paper shows it is possible
• The paper used a Chromium-Zinc Catalyst on a β-Zeolite Catalyst, which is luckily not too rare (ie no rare earth metals etc)

  • A Project using P2X Technology and Formic Acid Fed Precision Fermentation to make Bio-Butane, with a goal of usage as Autogas
• DME / DME Blending / DME-Propane Blending
  • While NOT the same, the similar storage conditions have lead some propane groups to propose blending DME into the propane as a means to reduce the Carbon Intensity of the fuel
