Do an archive search for "enzyme" (which will also find you some 
ethanol refs), "lipase", "solid catalyst":
http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?list=biofuel

Check the "More on this subject" links.

>and whether it is being used in commercial scale any where?

I don't think so, nor by homebrewers, it's lab stuff.

>Any references or useful web sites -links will be highly appreciated.

More then you ever wanted to know at the archive, I expect.

Best

[biofuel] Trans-esterification with enzymatic process.

2003-10-07 Thread dishark

Hello Biofuel group members,

I understand that it is possible to make Biodiesel also by enzymatic conversion 
of oils. This process is said to avoid hazardous chemicals such as the strong 
Alkali's and Methanol. Could some body enlighten me on this possibility and 
whether it is being used in commercial scale any where? Any references or 
useful web sites -links will be highly appreciated.
