David,
Whoever would dump their byproducts is a fool, most of the methanol can be
recovered, and the glycerine can be digested (see:

and i'll bet you a dollar that you can use the white greasy junk from bad
batches as a

Which stage do you think we're at by now, we backyard biofuels
homebrewing tinkers? For one thing we're brewing up millions and
millions of gallons of fuel all over the world, who cares about
manufacturers? Local vs central?

I think most people who do it do it mostly as a way of not using
petro-diesel much more than to save money.
I doubt I'd save much on fuel

I also wonder what people are really doing with the leftover glycerine
and wash water with excess methanol. I suspect a lot of both get
dumped, as do batches that just go bad. I don't know that, but would
be interested to hear from those actually making BD

i had known about boneyard turbine engines for a while, but i hadnt ever
put the idea of glyceine to it yet.
this is fantastic. i have a recommendation though.

For the big refiners, I think the answer is obvious -- political inertia
But for small refiners or starups, the biggest reason I can think of
it the capital and time required to bring a plant on line. Who wants
to lend a few million to a small entrepenuer to produce biodiesel when
