Dimethyl ether (DME) is the organic compound with the formula CH3OCH3. The simplest ether, it is a colourless gas that is a useful precursor to other organic compounds and an aerosol propellant. When combusted, DME produces minimal NOx and CO, though HC and soot formation is significant. DME can act as a clean fuel when burned in engines properly optimized for DME.
