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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Vehicles fueled by diesel lead to substantial carbon emissions that are challenging to decarbonize. In 2022, diesel fuel use made up about one-fourth of total U.S. transportation carbon dioxide ...

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 ...

Instead of going in the trash or, perhaps, a compost heap, a new study proposes that used coffee grounds could help feed biodiesel-producing algae. Published in the journal Renewable and Sustainable ...
