Lund researchers develop optimized two-phase enzymatic process for production of biodiesel

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Lund University (Sweden) have developed an optimized two-phase enzymatic (lipase) system for the conversion of plant oils to biodiesel. For that reason, two-phase reaction media seem to be the most suitable environment for these particular enzymes. Under the mild conditions used, chemical catalysts were inefficient.
