The migration to green energy and to innovative disposal of solid waste has emerged due to global problems such as fossil fuels scarcity, climate change, and environmental pollution. The production of eco-friendly biofuels from residual fatty materials as feedstock is a brand-new solution for waste management and energy generation. In this work, biofuels were made from 3 different fatty wastes (from the fat trap of a sewage station, lard waste, and frying oil) and showed physical and chemical properties analogous to petroleum diesel. Recovery of energy from waste is a core part of a circular economy and the investment in long-term biofuel synthesis could impact positively the global economy and the environment. Details are presented in the Article Diesel-Like Biofuels Production Using Fatty Waste by Lyvia N. B. Menezes, Paulo A. Z. Suarez and Grace F. Ghesti on page 550.

Citrus sudden death (CSD) is a disease that has affected millions of orange trees in Brazil. It is known that it interferes in triacylglycerides content in the barks of rootstock and scion close to the bud union. The effects of CSD on the fatty acid profiles were studied by gas chromatography.
