Synthesis of Oxymethylene Ether (OME) – a 2nd generation E-fuel

The reduction of CO2 emission is one of the most important challenges regarding the Paris Agreement, which limits the increase of global warming to be below 2 °C or 1.5 °C respectively. [1] The mobility sector contributes with a share of 23 % largely to the global CO2 emission. [2] One possibility to counteract this mobility based emission is the substitution of conventional fuels by sustainable synthetic fuels.
