Project Overview: The Clean Diesel: Generating Biodiesel from University Waste subteam aims to analyze and convert used soybean oil from campus dining halls into usable biodiesel fuel. The produced biodiesel can be blended with petroleum diesel for other uses on campus. Past semesters have studied reaction chemistry to optimize the reaction needed to make biodiesel. Currently, the team is in a feasibility analysis to determine the possible economic and environmental benefits of implementing a commercial biodiesel processor on campus.
