"The Energy Information Administration (EIA) uses a process-costing approach to model the impacts of net feedstock production costs plus capital and operating costs. The feedstock cost of the oil or grease is the largest single component of biodiesel production costs." "The biodiesel production process uses, for each gallon, 0.083 kilowatthours of electricity and 38,300 British thermal units (Btu) of natural gas" http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/analysispaper/biodiesel/
Biodiesel requires very expensive feedstock, electricity, and natural gas to produce -- yet ekes out a tiny profit. JBII has virtually none of these costs. Profitability is a no brainer.
