Chinese Scientists Pioneer Breakthrough Biodiesel Technology with Over 40% Biomass Content
Beijing, The Gulf Observer: Chinese scientists, led by Professor Shen Jian from Nanjing Normal University’s School of Chemistry and Materials Science, have achieved a groundbreaking advancement in biodiesel technology.
Their innovation enables the production of biodiesel fuel with an exceptional biomass content exceeding 40%, a significant leap compared to the global average of less than 10%. The team’s refined manufacturing process involves utilizing biofats (triglycerides) and crude oil refinery components, eliminating the need for transesterification.
Higher biomass content in biodiesel enhances energy efficiency and carbon reduction. This development aligns with China’s commitment to eco-friendly fuel, emission standards improvement, and global initiatives for carbon peaking and neutrality.
Local quality inspections confirm the biodiesel meets national standards, demonstrating superior oxidative stability, corrosion resistance, lubricity, and environmental benefits. The research team, in collaboration with industry partners, has established an industrial production unit with an annual capacity of two million tonnes, accelerating the practical application of this groundbreaking biodiesel technology.
