Vehicles powered by diesel contribute significantly to carbon emissions, making the journey toward decarbonization a tough road. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in ...

Chemists are reporting development of what they termed the first economical, eco-friendly process to convert algae oil into biodiesel fuel -- a discovery they predict could one day lead to US ...

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.

A thermochemical process can convert lipids from sewage sludge into biodiesel, according to a new study (Environ. Sci. Technol., DOI: 10.1021/es3019435). The low cost and high yield of the sludge ...

Eco-dreamers have long hoped for a way to drive around without contributing to global warming, but the slow pace of progress in alternative fuel technologies has kept that vision from materializing.

Blue Sun Energy, a transportation fuel technology commercialization company, has implemented its enzymatic biodiesel processing technology at its 30 million gallon per year biodiesel production ...

Biodiesel, a green alternative to conventional diesel, has been shown to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 74%. Biodiesel is produced through transesterification, converting triglycerides into ...

What was once the fuel of the future has been forgotten by the masses, but in the face of an emissions crisis, it may be time to bring it back. Now, when most people hear “biodiesel,” they assume one ...

Muffakham Jah College of Engineering and Technology (MJCET), Hyderabad has secured a patent for ‘Bio-diesel Production Process’ which improves the extraction process. A statement from the college said ...

A new process to transform algae directly into biodiesel and other renewable fuels uses carbon dioxide in place of toxic solvents. New work on the new method could raise algae's profile as a source of ...
