氣霧劑推進劑製造業的蓬勃發展推動了歐洲二甲醚市場
二甲醚 (DME) 是一種多功能且環保的推進劑,由於其獨特的性能符合製造商和消費者不斷變化的偏好,燃料在氣霧劑行業中的應用越來越廣泛。氣溶膠推進劑在各種消費品、家用清潔劑和汽車產品的配方中至關重要。歷史上,氯氟烴 (CFC) 常用作推進劑。然而,由於它們對環境產生有害影響並導致臭氧消耗,對更環保的替代品的需求不斷增加。這導致氫氟烷(HFA)推進劑以及隨後的二甲醚的興起。二甲醚作為氣溶膠推進劑的受歡迎程度源自於多種因素,例如零臭氧消耗潛力、無毒性、高溶解力、無腐蝕性和低全球暖化潛力。二甲醚無毒、無腐蝕性,對消費者和環境都安全。其高蒸氣壓使其成為一種高效且有效的推進劑,可均勻一致地分散產品配方。此外,二甲醚在其氣溶膠形式下不易燃,從而降低了與易燃推進劑相關的風險。氣霧劑產業轉向環保和更安全的替代品,再加上二甲醚的獨特性能,導致對二甲醚作為推進劑的需求激增。製造商熱衷於以二甲醚取代傳統的、可能有害的推進劑,以符合監管標準和消費者對永續和安全產品的偏好。因此,氣溶膠推進劑製造業的成長對二甲醚產生了巨大的需求。製造商正在投資二甲醚生產,以滿足氣霧劑產業不斷成長的需求。這反過來又導致了二甲醚生產技術、運輸基礎設施和應用方法的創新。二甲醚有利的環境特徵及其在氣霧劑配方中的功能優勢,使其成為氣霧劑產業持續發展的關鍵組成部分。
歐洲二甲醚市場概況
歐洲的永續發展目標和向清潔能源的過渡促使製造商採用再生原料生產二甲醚。 2021年,SHV Energy和UGI International獲得歐盟委員會批准成立合資企業,生產和利用再生二甲醚。 2022年,Dimeta成立,旨在增加DME的生產和利用。該組織的目標是到 2027 年開發多達 6 個生產工廠,DME 產能高達約 30 萬噸。廢棄物中提取二甲醚。人們越來越傾向於使用永續和可再生原料來生產化學品,這與歐洲的環境目標是一致的。歐洲已探索透過氣化和合成過程從生質能生產二甲醚。 2020 年,歐盟委員會資助的計畫「透過吸附增強製程從生質能氣化生產靈活二甲醚 (FLEDGED)」完成。該專案旨在開發一種低成本、高效、靈活的吸附強化氣化工藝,用於從生質能生產二甲醚,並在工業條件下進行驗證。此外,歐盟委員會為交通運輸業脫碳和鼓勵替代燃料所做的努力正在推動歐洲二甲醚市場的發展。

Flourishment of Aerosol Propellant Manufacturing Industry Fuel the Europe Dimethyl Ether Market
Dimethyl ether (DME) is a versatile and environmentally friendly propellant, and fuel has found increased application in the aerosol industry due to its unique properties that align with the changing preferences of both manufacturers and consumers. Aerosol propellants are essential in the formulations of various consumer products, household cleaners, and automotive products. Historically, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were commonly used as a propellant. However, due to their harmful environmental impact and contribution to ozone depletion, there is increased demand for more eco-friendly alternatives. This led to the rise of hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellants and, subsequently, dimethyl ether. Dimethyl ether's popularity as an aerosol propellant has grown from several factors such as zero ozone-depleting potential, non-toxic, high solvency properties, non-corrosive nature, and low global warming potential. Dimethyl ether is nontoxic and noncorrosive, making it safe for consumers and the environment. Its high vapor pressure makes it an efficient and effective propellant that can disperse product formulations evenly and consistently. Also, DME is nonflammable in its aerosol form, reducing the risks associated with flammable propellants. The shift of the aerosol industry toward environmentally friendly and safer alternatives, coupled with the unique properties of DME, has led to a surge in demand for dimethyl ether as a propellant. Manufacturers are keen to replace traditional, potentially harmful propellants with DME to align with regulatory standards and consumer preferences for sustainable and safe products. As a result, the growth of the aerosol propellant manufacturing industry has generated significant demand for DME. Manufacturers are investing in DME production to meet the rising demand from the aerosol sector. This, in turn, has led to innovations in DME production techniques, transportation infrastructure, and application methods. The favorable environmental profile of DME, along with its functional benefits in aerosol formulations, positions it as a crucial component in the ongoing evolution of the aerosol industry.
Europe Dimethyl Ether Market Overview
Europe's sustainability goals and transition toward clean energy sources have prompted the manufacturers to produce DME from renewable feedstock. In 2021, SHV Energy and UGI International received approval from the European Commission to form a joint venture to produce and utilize renewable dimethyl ether. In 2022, Dimeta was established to increase the production and utilization of DME. The organization aimed to develop up to six production plants, with a DME capacity of up to ~300 thousand metric ton, by 2027. Several projects are located in Northwest Europe, with each anticipated to produce ~165 thousand metric ton of renewable and recycled carbon DME per year from mixed residual waste. The growing preference for sustainable and renewable feedstocks for the production of chemicals aligns with the environmental goals of Europe. Europe has explored the production of DME from biomass through gasification and synthesis processes. In 2020, European Commission funded project "FLExible Dimethyl ether production from biomass Gasification with sorption-enhancED processes (FLEDGED)" was completed. The project aimed to develop a low cost and efficient, flexible sorption enhanced gasification process for producing DME from biomass and its validation in industrial conditions. Further, the European Commission's efforts to decarbonize the transportation sector and encourage alternative fuel are driving the Europe dimethyl ether market.
