Progress Energy Florida to test New Generation Biofuels emulsion-based biofuel for power generation

In Florida, New Generation Biofuels announced an agreement with Progress Energy Florida to supply its vegetable oil and animal fat based emulsified biofuels on a test basis to Progress Energy Florida’s Bartow facility, in St. Petersburg. New Generation Biofuels uses a non-transesterization process based on emulsification to produce biofuel from oil-based feedstocks including palm oil, soybean oil, fish oil, corn oil, canola oil, jatropha oil, algae oil, yellow grease, recycled vegetable oils or animal fats. The company does not produce glycerine as a byproduct, yet has similar reductions in NOx, and sulphur emissions to the results for biodiesel compared to conventional diesel. Progress Energy Florida serves electric power to 1.7 million customers in eastern and central Florida.

    How does this emulsification process work? I have been trying to find this out last few days but there appear to be no literature on how emulsification process works to produce biodiesel from lipids…any help will be appreciated
