Automobile exhaust emitted by fossil-fuel-based vehicles, especially those operating on diesel, is known to be a major source of fine dust and greenhouse gases . Using biodiesel instead of diesel is ...

Biodiesel made easier, cleaner with waste-recycling catalyst Researchers develop catalyst to recycle waste, increase the yield of biodiesel Date: September 14, 2015 Source: Cardiff University Summary: ...

CARL'S CORNER, Texas — The corn grows tall for miles around this truck stop, 80 miles south of Dallas, but it’s another crop, soybeans, that has engines revving in these parts. Since spring, when the ...

It’s already possible to make biodiesel at home using waste oil–if you’re interested in setting up a system that competes with Breaking Bad’s meth labs for complexity. A new, compact, British-made ...

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 ...

Chemists have developed a way of purifying biodiesel made from vegetable oils, which is cheap, simple and low in toxicity. Researchers were able to remove glycerol, the main by-product of vegetable ...

There are many facets to green motoring, but for some the prospect of buying a new hybrid or electric car is neither realistic nor desirable. For these people, biofuels may be an option, particularly ...

Biodiesel made from rapeseed could increase rather than reduce greenhouse emissions compared to conventional diesel fuels, reports a new study published in the journal Chemistry & Industry. Overall ...

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 ...

Ed Cinco of Youngstown, Ohio, has a problem. He's the director of purchasing for Schwebel's Baking Company and he can't get enough soybean oil, a key ingredient in the company's bread and buns.

As indicated previously, Malaysia is set to raise the biodiesel blend rate in Peninsular Malaysia from B10 to B15 starting ...

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.
