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 the ...

Producing biodiesel from rapeseed/canola can have an EROI hardly above one, meaning it takes nearly an equivalent amount of energy to produce the energy needed for the process. In some regions ...

With the professionally engineered biodiesel systems available today, the process is simpler, safer, takes less time and yields more consistent results. So I decided to try one of the commercially ...

At present, it's just more expensive to grow plants and produce biodiesel than it is to pull oil out of the ground and process it. Relatively small biodiesel operations can be economically ...

The novel microbial and catalyst process developed by Yuan, Dai and their teams allowed their electro-biodiesel to reach 4.5% solar-to-molecule efficiency for converting carbon dioxide to lipid ...

Here’s what I found. Biodiesel is produced through the process of transesterification and before you ask, no, I didn’t know that word six months ago. Anywho, this converts anything from veg ...
