New York researchers develop brown grease biodiesel production method

In New York state, research on transforming brown grease into biodiesel fuel has been published in the Journal of Biochemical Engineering under the title “Biodiesel fuel production from brown grease produced by wastewater treatment plant: Optimization of acid catalyzed reaction conditions.” The groundbreaking research describes the process of using water treatment plant waste to create a renewable energy source in the form of biodiesel.

The scheme proposed by Guttman Community College researchers provides a scalable, low-cost and environmentally-friendly biodiesel fuel when the traditional form of biodiesel production is expensive, and fossil fuels pose a danger for the environment.
