Kyushu University researchers develop a zeolite catalyst that can be heated up using microwaves to speed up the conversion of fatty acid esters to olefins.

The researchers hope their efforts could lead to a new era in sustainable chemical manufacturing.

Microwaves interact directly with materials and can selectively deliver energy to them, enabling significant energy savings.
