A new study by scientists at the American Chemical Society has identified an unlikely new source for raw materials for biodiesel fuels - butter. Researchers report that butter could be used as an eco-friendly feedstock for diesel fuel, a possible new source beyond the current ethanol production. As part of the study, researchers removed the fat from [...]
