Advancing Renewable Fuel Production from the Macroalga Ulva lactuca through Integrated Optimization of Biodiesel Yield and Physicochemical Properties

Abstract Algae-derived lipids are promising renewable feedstocks for biodiesel production. However, efficient conversion requires optimization of transesterification conditions to maximize biodiesel yield. This study aimed to optimize biodiesel production from Ulva lactuca lipids...

Development of low-carbon biocomposite from rice husk waste fiber for thermal insulation in climate-adaptive buildings

The escalating impacts of climate change on indoor environments have intensified the need for climate-adaptive, low-carbon building materials that enhance thermal resilience and energy efficiency. Conventional insulation materials remain heavily dependent on non-renewable resourc...
