Researchers also claimed that transesterification reactions were successful using inexpensive, abundant waste cooking oil from a major fast-food chain, as well as soybean oil, corn oil, olive oil, and ...

Chemists have streamlined the conversion of waste vegetable oil into biodiesel, eliminating the need for corrosive chemicals to perform the reactions. The researchers were able to pull off the ...

As more Malaysians turn to selling used cooking oil (UCO) for extra income, stakeholders have raised concerns over how some ...

By manipulating borate-glycerol complex formation, this process enhances the selectivity and efficiency of glycerol electrooxidation, converting it into valuable three-carbon compounds such as ...

The BioBot 20 tabletop diesel processor is a (relatively) simple chemical reactor for converting used kitchen oils into biodiesel fuel at home.

Sandals Resorts' biodiesel conversion centre in St Lucia features tanks for processing, storing andmixing the fuel which the hotel made from used vegetable oil.

UC Santa Cruz chemists have discovered a new way to produce biodiesel from waste oil that both simplifies the process and requires relatively mild heat. This discovery has the potential to make ...

An electrooxidation process efficiently converts glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel production, into high-value three-carbon compounds.

Global commodity trader Trafigura's UK-based biofuel producer and fuel distributor Greenergy will begin a consultation with ...

Production costs are lowered as the pretreatment conversion process uses less energy and fewer chemicals, such as methanol, than traditional biodiesel production processes.

Their process is also six times faster than current methods for converting waste vegetable oil to biodiesel, so it consumes less energy.
