The global shift away from petrochemical production towards bio-based solutions has given a boost to conventional biodiesel producers. However, they\u2019re facing a challenger \u2018from the inside\u2019 \u2013 renewable biodiesel. Undaunted, a team of chemists and engineers from Airable Research Lab in the USA, led by Dr Dylan Karis, has revealed that conventional biodiesel \u2013 or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) \u2013 has remarkable properties. In a leap forward for green chemistry, the researchers found that FAME makes an excellent substitute for petrochemicals in a raft of applications beyond fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
