Detailed Introduction

Fatty acid methyl esters are produced by methylation of fatty acids. Biodiesel is mainly composed of fatty acid methyl ester.

In biochemistry, in order to analyze the content of various fatty acids in samples, the lipids in the samples are extracted and modified into FAMEs by methylation reagents such as BSTFA, which can be separated, content measured and isotopic abundance judged by gas chromatography, etc.

The fatty acid methyl ester industry in China has experienced a leap forward. The search for diesel substitutes has been continuously practiced due to the ever-high crude oil prices. A large number of renewable resources exist in our country, such as fats and oils, which produce a large number of by-products during the production process, including fatty acid glycerides in the form of esters and also free fatty acids. The carbon chain of fatty acid here is long chain fatty acid, when the carbon chain of fatty acid is 12-18, its methyl ester is the basic component of biodiesel. Therefore, the number of enterprises investing in biodiesel production in China increased rapidly after 06.

However, compared with petrochemical diesel, biodiesel is difficult to compete with petrochemical diesel in terms of performance and cost performance, except for barely used for marine diesel, it is difficult to be applied in more fields as fuel. Therefore, a large number of biodiesel companies are facing the dilemma of transformation.

But biodiesel has been applied to the field of diesel blending to provide various indicators of existing petrochemical diesel fuel such as environmental unfriendliness, and the country has also developed and introduced the national standard of B5 biodiesel oil. So the prospect is very good, and only increase the promotion efforts.

As fatty acid methyl ester can be further processed into epoxy fatty acid methyl ester, and the latter has been effectively promoted in the field of plasticizer, becoming a green and environmentally friendly plasticizer that can replace phthalate plasticizer to some extent, biodiesel companies have transformed into plasticizer companies. Biodiesel produced from plant-based resources has a large unsaturated carbon chain, which is suitable for the production of plasticizers; animal-based fats and oils are not suitable for the production of plasticizers due to the high degree of saturation.

Internationally, the European Union and the United States are also committed to the development of biodiesel industry as an alternative to petroleum energy due to the sustainable development strategy, and as the European Union and the United States implement government subsidies for the biodiesel industry, the raw materials for its biodiesel production directly use edible fats and oils such as rapeseed oil. However, the raw materials for the production of fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel) in China are mainly the offcuts from the oil and grease industry and renewable resources from the catering industry. China also has research on the production of biodiesel from fats and oilseed crops, which is at the conceptual stage and not yet produced industrially.

Our Vision

The company will adhere to the core values of "green, responsible, innovative, and win-win", and is committed to the comprehensive utilization of waste oil and grease, agricultural and forestry biomass, to build an advanced bioenergy chemical ecological industry chain, and to contribute green, environmentally friendly, and renewable clean energy to society.

Our Vision

Terrestrial Biology has many subsidiaries, including Hubei Mingyao New Energy Co., Ltd., Jingmen Mingyao Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., Jingzhou Weiyu Petrochemical Co., Ltd., Wuhan Weiyu Petrochemical Co., Ltd., Beijing Beward Technology Development Co., Ltd., and Beijing Weiyu Petrochemical Co., Ltd. The company has introduced the National Biodiesel Industry Cooperation Group Expert Committee as the consultant team to grasp the latest and most advanced research direction and design concept for the company's scientific research and development.
