Ну наконец-то додумались вместо этого процесса -



Использовать вот этот -



"The process that Solazyme uses to make fuel is different from the process shown above. They are using a process like that used in the short-lived COP/Tyson venture, which is to hydrogenate the triglyceride. In the figure above, R1, R2, and R3 refer to hydrocarbon chains. For instance, R1 might be a twelve-carbon chain, which if removed would be a hydrocarbon in the diesel range. This is exactly what the hydrogenation process does – snips off those “R” chains as hydrocarbons which are chemically identical to hydrocarbons found in conventional gasoline or diesel. Hence, the product is superior in performance to biodiesel, which has some properties that limit how much can be blended with conventional diesel. And instead of glycerol, the byproduct of this process is propane."
