In order to produce chemicals and fuels in a sustainable way it is necessary today to design new reactions, methods and production processes safely, flexible and efficiently. The use of different biomass and wastes as raw materials have been pointed out as an elegant solution to partially or completely substitute petroleum. Our research group has been developing several technologies that use fatty materials as inputs to obtain hydrocarbons, esters and polymers, among others, which are suitable to be used in lubricants, fuels and paintings formulations. Indeed, we have been developing processes using refined and crude fats and oils obtained from agribusiness and forest extractivism, as well as industrial and urban wastes. In this article, it is intended to discuss the studies carried out in the development of processes of modification of fatty materials to obtain chemicals and macromolecules using thermal and/or chemical transformations.

为了以可持续的方式生产化学品和燃料，当今有必要安全，灵活和高效地设计新的反应，方法和生产工艺。有人指出，使用不同的生物质和废物作为原材料是部分或完全替代石油的理想解决方案。我们的研究小组已经开发出几种技术，这些技术使用脂肪材料作为输入以获得烃，酯和聚合物等，这些技术适用于润滑剂，燃料和油漆配方。的确，我们一直在使用从农业综合企业和森林采伐业获得的精制和粗制油脂以及​​工业和城市废物开发工艺。在这篇文章中，
