In Kansas, most plant oils consist of triacylglycerols, molecules with three fatty acids (long lipid molecules) linked to a glycerol backbone. However, throughout the plant kingdom, seeds from certain species produce different oil types with unique structures and properties. One such oil is acetyl-triacylglycerol (acetyl-TAG), found naturally in the burning bush plant (Euonymus alatus). Acetyl-TAG […]
In Brazil, the National Climate Change Fund (FNMC) this year will start financing the acquisition of heavy-duty vehicles powered by biomethane, as well as the replacement of diesel engines with versions compatible with the renewable fuel.
