AGFD/GREEN (AOCS): Biodiesel | |||
| Biodiesel is the general term for the transesterification product of a vegetable oil or an animal fat with an alcohol, usuall methanol, to form fatty acid alkyl esters. The resultant fatty acid alkyl esters have fuel properties similar to petroleum-based diesel fuel and can used directly in diesel engines as alternative diesel fuel. Topics presented in this session will cover a diverse range of topics from research to legislation and regulations to laboratory teaching opportunities. | |||
