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 ...
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 ...

Supercritical biodiesel production harnesses the unique properties of fluids above their critical temperature and pressure to drive transesterification without the need for chemical catalysts. In this ...
Kevin Lofgren in the lab holding a flask containing the pure biodiesel product made with the process described in the journal Energy & Fuels. UC Santa Cruz chemists have discovered a new way to ...
The high cost and food competition associated with conventional biodiesel feedstocks limit its widespread adoption. This research investigates using palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), a low-cost ...
An electrooxidation process efficiently converts glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel production, into high-value three-carbon compounds. An electrochemical process developed by researchers at Tokyo ...
