EAST LANSING, Mich. — A new biofuel production process created by Michigan State University researchers produces energy more than 20 times higher than existing methods. The results, published in the ...

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 ...

An electrochemical process developed by scientists at a Loughborough University spin-out company enables biodiesel producers to turn waste into profit—while slashing emissions and energy use.

Scientists have developed an improved method to convert municipal wastewater sludge into higher quality renewable fuel while ...

Nevada-based Algae Systems says it has developed a way to make algae-based biofuel profitable by transforming raw sewage into fuel and clean drinking water.The company says it has a pilot plant in ...

A key step to starting the certification process for bio-derived jet fuels is nearing completion. Testing of bio-derived blends of generic synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK), called hydrotreated ...
