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 ...

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 ...

As regulatory pressure and decarbonization targets continue to drive the chemical industry away from fossil-based feedstocks, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Green transportation is one of the most important considerations in the ongoing fight against climate change. Transit accounts for 29% of all greenhouse gas emissions, more than any other category.
