Biofuel From Waste With a New Zeolite Catalyst

July 4, 2017 | 4 Comments

Technical University of Munich (TUM) researchers have now managed to significantly reduce the temperature and energy requirements of a key step in the biofuel production chemical process with reactions taking place inside zeolite crystals. But fuel from waste material? It is possible. So far, converting organic waste to fuel has not been economically viable. Excessively […]
