The Combustion Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University has successfully developed a project involving conversion of a faculty-staff campus shuttle bus to operate on DME. The conversion of the Penn State shuttle bus was a collaborative effort between the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Air Products, the Federal Energy Technology Center, Navistar International, Champion Motor Coach, Penn State s Combustion Lab, Fleet Services, and Pennsylvania Transportation Institute. The Combustion Laboratory will eventually convert the shuttle bus engine to operate on blends of DME, diesel fuel, and a lubricity agent. 

In comparison, in 1995, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection reported that 3902 km (2425 miles) of stream in Pennsylvania did not meet EPA-mandated in-stream water quality standards because of mineral extraction (31). This significant amount affected streams in Pennsylvania, compared with the nationally estimated amount, can be explained by the fact that this state has a relatively large portion of the US coal industry.
