A new way to produce fuels made from leftover fat can create biofuel as effective as diesel and 1000 -times more efficiently than current methods a new study has suggested.

Researchers from King's College London and the Brazilian Biorenewables National Laboratory used enzymes to break down fatty acids in cooking oil into alkenes.

The scientists hope that the new renewable fuel, which can be made using leftover food waste, can cut fossil fuel usage.
