Biodiesel production has emerged as a pivotal research area in the transition towards sustainable energy sources. It involves the conversion of renewable feedstocks—such as vegetable oils, animal fats ...

When considering renewable fuels, biodiesel is an exciting alternative energy source with great promise. The production of biodiesel fuel involves oil-based plant feedstock containing triglycerides, ...

A professor from the University of Missouri has developed a process to make propylene glycol using the glycerin that’s normally left behind as a waste product from the biodiesel production process.

Researchers at the National University of Colombia (UN) have designed and patented a faster and less costly process for producing biodiesel. The process uses a tube reactor that allows the oil from ...

Rapid developments in decarbonisation policy, feedstock availability, and refinery-scale process innovation have significantly changed the renewable diesel and biodiesel sector over the past few years ...

An electrooxidation process efficiently converts glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel production, into high-value three-carbon compounds. An electrochemical process developed by researchers at Tokyo ...

EAST LANSING, Mich. — A new fuel-cell concept, developed by an Michigan State University researcher, will allow biodiesel plants to eliminate the creation of hazardous wastes while removing their ...

In a study published in the Journal of Catalysis, researchers supervised by Associate Professor Tomohiro Hayashi of the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and Professor Chia-Ying Chiang of the ...

Biodiesel is diesel fuel made from biomass rather than petroleum (petrodiesel). It’s used primarily in transportation, but it can also be used for home heating, electricity generation, and other uses.
