Summary
Currently, ethylene glycol is prominently used in vehicle antifreeze. It is both toxic and made from petroleum. Galen Suppes, chief science officer of the UMC-based Renewable Alternatives, has developed a process for converting glycerin, a byproduct of the biodiesel production process, into propylene glycol (PG). Suppes said the PG can be used as a non-toxic automobile antifreeze, meets every federal performance standard, and is derived from domestic soybeans.
