India, the world's second largest importer of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is significantly affected by the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which has disrupted energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. In response, a report from EY-Parthenon and New Era Cleantech Solution Ltd suggests that India could reduce its LPG imports by approximately 6.3 million tonnes annually by blending 20% dimethyl ether (DME) with LPG. DME, produced from coal gasification, is recognized as a sustainable and eco-friendly fuel, noted for its low emissions and thermal efficiency similar to traditional fuels. The Bureau of Indian Standards has already established guidelines allowing for this blending. Currently, India is in the early stages of domestic DME production, and experts emphasize that a clear blending policy will be crucial for attracting investments and expanding production capabilities. Countries with coal reserves, like China, are already leveraging coal gasification technologies for DME production, which could position India to enhance its energy security amidst global supply challenges.
