Hence, in order to reduce the cost of biodiesel production, using cheaper feedstocks such as waste oil or low-quality oil has been proposed. However, its use has been challenging as a result of impurities such as water and large amounts of free fatty acids (FFAs), which are common in most waste materials.

Robert Dorner and his colleagues are looking at converting CO 2 and hydrogen (both won from sea-water) over catalysts, using the CO 2 as a building block to form synthetic fuel. Our research proposes the utilization of CO 2 into fuel, recycling the gas and using it as a raw material rather than a waste product. Robert Dorner.

Every scrap of waste food, garden trimmings and even sewage would be used to ferment gas.
