your own.
At a rough production cost of .41-.42/liter (x3.78/USgal=$1.55-$1.59CDN
converted at 28%= $1.21-$1.24USD/gal) Minus the labour that you provide
yourself for free :)
Also, this is basing on CDN costs for methanol (the biggest expense) and the
US cost is lower than that, so what I have given is a worse case scenario
for US producers, many have claimed less than that still.
So, the least of all considerations for using biodiesel being financial, it
is, as a by-product, also more economical than commercial BD or dino diesel.
That notwithstanding that BD has many many other more important reasons to
be used opposed to other form of energy that is readily available to the
common person.
If I, with absolutely NO background in carpentry,chemistry or hands-on
tinkering, can produce a workable fully functional reactor/wash tank combo
enclosed in a cabinet making top rated fuel then anyone with sufficient
determination and dedication can do it. make your own, it is a VERY
rewarding experience.

Subject: [Biofuel] Cost of biofuel
Hi there,
The cost of biofuel ( be it from coconut oil, palm oil, rapeseed, soybean,
corn, sunflower, canola etc) including ethanol? Are there cost charts from
various countries to peruse? At current oil price level can crop growers
match with biofuel? Brazil went through that scenario with ethanol.
Cheers,
CS Chua
