oops, I need to correct myself, the proper formula for propylene glycol
is:HOCH2CHOHCH3.
propylene glycol is HOCH2-CH2-CH2OH and could be made from glycerol
but your talking a some pretty sophisticated procedures. Heck, why
not use the glycerol as antifreeze?
Couldn't one make propylene glycol (HOC=C-COH) or propanol (C-C-COH)
from glycerin (HOC-COH-COH)? Propylene glycol is green antifreeze, a
useful substance. And propanol could then be used to transesterify more
vegetable oil.

I thought you needed a long chain to make biodiesel. Is this true?
Leif, you just need a hydrocarbon or slightly oxygenated hydrocarbon
with right molecular wt. If you made the triester using glycerol and
butanoic or pentanoic acid, you would have a molecule of about the same

What markets are available for the sale and
distribution of crude glycerol that is a by-product of
the production of biodiesel from waste oil? We are
producing on the scope of around 7,200 litres per day
of waste glycerol; is there any coherent average price
for crude glycerol (esp. in Europe,
Dear Mr. Helm (Peter)
Based on my inquiries with industry contacts There is
no real retail market for crude glycerol per se but
there are refined glycerin markets who need supply of
crude glycerin. For example, there are suppliers with
refining plants in they make and refine high grade
glycerine
