An electrochemical process developed by scientists at a Loughborough University spin-out company enables biodiesel producers ...

April 8, 2009 While there are plenty of alternative fuel prospects floating around, a key factor in the widespread adoption of such fuels is whether or not they are economical. That is why a team of ...

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 ...

Scientists at R3V Tech, a spin-out company led by Dr. Adriano Randi and Professor Benjamin Buckley, have developed an ...

A new fuel-cell concept, developed by an Michigan State University researcher, will allow biodiesel plants to eliminate the creation of hazardous wastes while removing their dependence on fossil fuel ...

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 better biodiesel process has been developed with no waste products and lower costs. Raw fats and oils of any type are combined with an alcohol. This mixture is run through a sulfated zirconia column ...

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.

All is not lost, biodiesel backers. With two recent major studies decrying the benefits of some biofuels, Brian Krohn's biodiesel discovery seems even more urgent today than it was two years ago when ...

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 ...

Chemical engineers at the University of Arkansas have devised a way to convert chicken fat into biodiesel fuel. The process advances efforts to “develop commercially viable fuel out of plentiful, ...

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 ...
