Zusammenfassung

Oxymethylene ethers (OME) are synthetic fuels based on C1 chemistry, which can be produced from sustainable feedstocks like waste CO2 and hydrogen out of electrolysis [10]. The constitutional formula of OMEn is CH3-O-(CH2-O)n-CH3 while the number of oxymethylene groups n determines the chain-length of the molecule. OMEn with 0 ≤ n ≤ 6 are suitable as diesel fuels because of their good ignitability.
