The current predominant method for the transesterification of triglycerides (plant and animal oils and fats) to biodiesel (a mixture of esters) uses chemical catalysts (sodium or potassium hydroxides or alkoxides). The results, the authors suggested in their paper, constitute a good starting point for efficient and cheap biodiesel production.

The microcapsules are stable under typical industrial operating conditions and may be used in supported packing and fluidized beds for large-scale carbon capture. The new technique employs an abundant and environmentally benign sorbent: sodium carbonate (the main ingredient in baking soda). —Vericella et al.

Two chemists at Brown University have streamlined the conversion of waste vegetable oil (WVO) into biodiesel, eliminating the need for corrosive chemicals to perform the reactions. Current techniques for the conversion of waste vegetable oil to biodiesel take time, are costly and are inefficient. That makes the process less efficient.
