Helo Bob Biodiesel can be made an intergrated way to produce defated soyabens for beef meat substuite and the oil can be directly or via transesterication to produce Biodiesel.As peanut , soybeans as leguminas , they can surely improve the sutainable enegy and food production.Now days we rae using soyproteins for animal feed.Sustainable small scale farming and small scale industries are social technology where as big mechanised farming and large scale industries prefer ethanol as apposed to smaller .Integrating small and big can be also done by very good goverment to make sustianble devleopments .Surely Biodiesel can win over etanol production from ecological and economic point of view.
