Non-edible carbohydrates are converted to renewable diesel-range liquids via two consecutive catalytic steps. A team at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) has designed a new simple, energy-efficient process (that also does not require any organic solvents) for the production of renewable diesel from biomass waste.
