Biodiesel

Who knew a potentially deadly bacteria could be used for good?

The benefits are two-fold: The process removes harmful CO₂ from the atmosphere, and the diesel can be used as an alternative fuel to gasoline

Using a microwave and catalyst-coated beads, scientists have devised a new way to convert waste cooking oil into biodiesel that could make it more affordable

CCI researchers develop catalyst to recycle waste and increase the yield of biodiesel

Working in conjunction with customer, Daimler AG, Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed an automated in-line matrix elimination technique that simplifies the determination of trace sodium in non-water-miscible liquids such as diesel, biodiesel, and regular petroleum fuels.

Testing, testing, testing.

looks like Mother Nature was wasting her time with a multimillion-year process to produce crude oil. Michigan Engineering researchers can "pressure-cook" algae for as little as a minute and transform an unprecedented 65 percent of the green slime into biocrude.
