Quantifying the land‐use change due to soybean‐based biodiesel in the United States

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract We quantify the impact of soybean oil‐based biodiesel production on US cropland, using a method that accounts for the intermediate effect of soybean crushing facilities. Based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data for biodiesel production and proprietary data for soybean crushing facilities over 2011–2020, we find that the elasticities ...

Ruddlesden–Popper Structured Sr3Fe2O7−δ as Redox‐Activated CO2 Sorbents for Green Hydrogen Production

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
A‐site and B‐site doped strontium ferrite‐type Ruddlesden–Popper oxides are evaluated as CO2 sorbents for glycerol‐based hydrogen production via sorption‐enhanced steam reforming. A Sr1.4Ca0.6Fe0.9Ni0.1O4−δ composition forms an active Sr3Fe2O7 phase, achieving ≈95 vol% H2 purity and over sixfold longer CO2 prebreakthrough time (tpb) than its perovskite

Lipase‐Mediated Synthesis of Biodiesel Using Blended Alcohol in a Packed‐Bed Reactor System

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of lipases in biodiesel production has gained attention as a more sustainable and efficient alternative to chemical catalysts, attributed to their operational reusability and minimal environmental impact. As an innovative approach in this study, a blended alcohol composed of 20 mol% methanol and 80 mol% 1‐butanol was employed as the ...
