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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a concept that would make Martian rocket fuel, on Mars, that could be used to launch future astronauts back to Earth. The ...

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 ...

Algal cultivation is an effective way to produce biomass, a renewable energy source that can be directly converted into biofuel—a fuel source that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The current ...

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 ...

Enzymatic biofuel cells can act as self-powered wearable biosensors by converting chemicals in body fluids into electricity; ...
