Seaghost:

Any feel for the raw soy or other oil, chemicals, etc., from which biodiesel will come. 10,000,000 million gallons of biodiesel will take many beans or many gallons of raw oil though I do not know what the ratio of gallons unprocessed oil = gallons of biodiesel. That will cost some bucks though.

You left out some revenue #’s; selling the byproducts will bring in some extra cash.

The glycerin is a great de-greaser… among other things.

If they are extracting their own oil from the actual soy beans, they can sell the crushed beans as feed. (But by the sounds of it they will NOT be doing this because they always say "soy oil" which tells me it’s already extracted from the bean.)


For those of you that are still figuring out BioDiesel.
