## Abstract As biodiesel production from triglyceride transesterification increases, a surplus amount of by‐product glycerol is produced. The glycerol production per year in Europe has tripled within the last 10 years to 800–900 kt per year. This motivates the development of new processes for the c

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Glycerol has become readily available as a byproduct from the biodiesel industry. High functionality and relatively low price make it a potential building block to produce value‐added derivatives such as acrolein. **RESULTS:** Dehydration of glycerol to acrolein was per
## Abstract The step‐growth polymerization of glycerol to relatively high molecular weight polyglycerol is investigated. Glycerol is a renewable material that can be derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils to biodiesel. Several soluble catalysts and their reaction mechanisms are comp
