New catalytic process turns renewable and waste carbon into cleaner, high-performance diesel biofuel blendstock

Green Car Congress

The first-of-its-kind continuous catalytic process was designed to reduce production costs relative to batch chemistry, the prior state-of-the-art technology. With this research, we looked to make a new biofuel conversion process that is relevant and applicable to renewable and waste-to-energy technology. Hafenstine et al.
