Researchers Develop Superior Electro-Biodiesel

Researchers in the labs of Joshua Yuan, at the McKelvey School of Engineering, and Susie Dai, at the University of Missouri, used electrocatalysis of carbon dioxide to turn carbon dioxide into intermediates that are then converted by microbes into lipids, or fatty acids, and ultimately became biodiesel feedstock. The process is much more efficient than photosynthesis and uses significantly less land than soybean-based biodiesel. (Image: Kainan Chen)
