Researchers at Cardiff University have devised a way of increasing the yield of biodiesel by using the waste left over from its production process. Using simple catalysis, the researchers have been ...

The rapid depletion of fossil fuel sources due to increase in global energy demand has promoted the need for alternative resources 1. However, the alternative fuel should be renewable, economically ...

Biodiesel, comprising fatty acid alkyl esters derived from biological lipids, has emerged as a sustainable alternative to petroleum‐derived diesel. Feedstocks range from edible vegetable oils and ...

In a study published in the Journal of Catalysis on 15 August 2024, researchers led by Associate Professor Tomohiro Hayashi from Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and Professor Chia-Ying ...

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 ...

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 ...

An electrochemical process developed by researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), using sodium borate and a nickel-oxide catalyst, offers a promising solution for the valorization of ...

As the world grapples with climate change and dwindling fossil fuel reserves, biodiesel emerges as a promising renewable alternative to conventional diesel. However, the journey toward sustainable ...

Bioenergy from crops is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. New crops such as energycane can produce several times more fuel per acre than soybeans. Yet, challenges remain in processing the ...

However, biofuel production remains complex and costly, with efficiency challenges that limit its widespread adoption. To address these issues, experts are turning to nanotechnology to improve ...

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 ...

Loughborough University spin-out R3V Tech has developed an electrochemical process that converts crude glycerol derived from biodiesel production into a high-value bio-derived solvent. R3V Tech is ...
