Scientists at the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology have found a much better way to make biodiesel. Their new method could lower the cost and increase the energy efficiency of fuel production.

Researchers have developed a novel method to produce biodiesel from waste oil. This simple process requires relatively mild heat and has the potential to make the alternative fuel source much more ...

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 ...

They're only 250 billionths of a meter in diameter. But fill them with the right chemistry and Iowa State scientists say the tiny nanospheres they've developed could revolutionize how biodiesel is ...

With gallon prices climbing dramatically, alternative fuels are starting to hold a greater appeal for a larger number of consumers. One alternative fuel is biodiesel, which is made from a renewable ...

A company affiliated with Morrisville State College plans to build a $21 million plant in Cortland County to make biodiesel -- or maybe not to make biodiesel. Empire AgriFuel LLC is hedging its bets.

Etruk has devised a method to produce biodiesel within the comfort of your own home, using their Home Biodiesel Processing Plant. The unit utilises biological sources such as vegetable oil to produce ...

Forgive the students at Sinclair Community College if they get the munchies when they pass the tractors that cut grass, blow leaves or sweep snow on campus: Oil that once cooked french fries and onion ...

Brazil is currently facing significant domestic pressures that could impact its sales of used cooking oil (UCO), particularly in the context of its growing biodiesel industry. As the country ramps up ...
