(Polytech University of Madrid (Google Translation)) Researchers at the UPM obtain biodiesel from a mixture of low-quality animal fat with soybean oil and, once characterized according to technical regulations, have tested its behavior in a Diesel engine. Today, renewable fuels, such as biodiesel, are the most promising alternative to partially replace the consumption of fossil fuels. However, if these increasing amounts of biodiesel come from vegetable oils, it has recently been confirmed that the promotion of biofuels could lead to a shortage of raw materials for food and a sharp rise in the prices of food, which could lead to poverty in some regions. In this context, researchers from the Higher Technical School of Mining Engineers of the UPM , in collaboration with the ETS of Industrial Engineers of the University of Castilla-La Mancha, have experimentally produced a new biodiesel (1) from mixtures of animal fats and soybean oil.
The results obtained suggest that from these raw materials an acceptable biodiesel is produced, according to the standards, and with a lower final cost. The animal fats used are cheaper and constitute a fatty residue without any other use, which means that their transformation into biodiesel has environmental benefits and reduces dependence on other conventional agricultural raw materials.

The resources obtained will help solve the problem of recurrent lumbar disc herniation.
NEOS Surgery, a technology-based company dedicated to developing, manufacturing and marketing medical devices for the neurosurgery sector, has received a non-refundable grant of 1.9 million euros from the European Innovation CouncilEIC Accelerator ), a European programme for funding innovative SMEs.
The company was founded in 2003 thanks to a collaboration between Eurecat and TECNALIA, and supported by the
Deep Tech Venture Builder TECNALIA Ventures. It will use the resources obtained to clinically validate the DISC Care™ device, which will make it possible to solve the problem of recurrent lumbar disc herniation. This funding also ensures that NEOS Surgery can generate additional private investment to bring this technology to European patients.
