The DMO process is based on a proprietary carbon monoxide coupling reaction from Ube Industries that employs a palladium (Pd) solid catalyst and is proud of high safety and productivity. The MEG process is now undergoing a HighChem-led pilot demonstration in China based on Ube Industry technology, and an industrial production process has been established that can support increased scale.

Ube Industries is a global leader in C1 chemicals that produce chemical products that are based on carbon monoxide, and it is currently expanding its technologies to increase the options for using coal and natural gas and contribute to reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and waste materials.

Ube Industries manufactures dimethyl carbonate (DMC), a major component of the electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries, at its own plants, and rank at the top of the world market for electrolytes. Along with agreements in China to license its technologies for producing a polyester feedstock , Ube Industries is also exploring the possibility of establishing tie-ups for DMC (for electrolyte, diesel oil additive, and conventional solvent applications) and oxamide (for slow-released fertilizer applications) as well as looking into expanding its bulk chemicals business, focused on China.
