---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is a low-toxic and environmentally friendly chemical raw material that is mainly used for the production of polycarbonates and as an electrolyte additive for lithium batteries. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles in China, the demand for battery-grade DMC will reach 250,000 tons by 2025, according to Changjiang Securities.

China uses the term "new energy vehicles" to describe electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell-powered vehicles.

Industrial Info is tracking 23 dimethyl carbonate projects in China, worth $2.2 billion.
