As I stated previously. Try getting a tanker to ship your bio-diesel. 99% percent of all tankers are used to transport oil. 99% of all tankers are most likely contracted out for the BIG oil companies. A tanker consortium is just not going to cut back on oil trnasfers and risk pissing off a big oil company in doing so. What happens when/if the biodiesel facility folds and the big oil company whom previously leased or contracted tankers has moved to a different company. The biodiesel industry is just not that big which is why you see developing nations using it for their own consumption. There is more oil in the ground than we will probably ever use. Alaska supposedly has more oil underneath it than all the oil reserves of the world combined and it hasn't even been tapped. It will be a very long time before biodiesel has an impact on world consumption and by then we might have our first Fusion Reactor. Also there are other promising technologies on the horizon that will make oil and biodiesel obsolete. Hydrogen fuel cells for one. Poor some water in your hydrogen reactor powered car. Seperate the Oxegen from the Hydrogen. Burn the hydrogen and release the oxegen byproduct. I just read an article about an auto that was shown at a show and the only by products discharged were c02 and water. It's just too expensive to mass produce but with all economies of scale they become cheaper as time moves on. Just look at flat panel TV's. 10 years ago you couldn't touch one for under 20 grand. So the question really is can biodiesel have an impact before oil consumption causes massive ecological damage or before a newer technology replaces them both.
