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 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.

Scientists are reporting development of a new and environmentally friendly process for producing biodiesel fuel from "chicken feather meal," made from the 11 billion pounds of poultry industry waste ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An electrochemical process developed by scientists at a Loughborough University spin-out company enables biodiesel producers to turn waste into profit—while slashing emissions and energy use.

In our day and age, automakers and governments alike work together to find more sustainable fuel sources. Well, some governments - and automakers - only care when they make a profit off caring ...
