Biodiesel Production Costs - Q2 2023
Biodiesel Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Biodiesel (a.k.a. Renewable Diesel, Green Diesel) consists of the simple alkyl esters of fatty acids (fatty acid methyl esters or FAME) found in vegetable oils, algae, animal fats, and recycled cooking oils. This renewable fuel exhibits performance generally comparable to that of conventional diesel in compression ignition (diesel) engines, while reducing engine emissions of particulates, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Biodiesel production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Biodiesel from Soybean Oil (Alkaline Catalyst)
This report presents the economics of Biodiesel production from soybean oil in the United States using a typical alkaline catalysis process. In this process, the triglycerides in the oil are reacted with methanol to make methyl esters. Crude glycerol is also generated as by-product.
