This second edition of Building a Successful Biodiesel Business includes three completely new chapters, and comes at an exciting time for everyone in the biodiesel industry. Interest in biodiesel is exploding. Biodiesel sells as fast as producers can make it, and in many cases, it is priced below petroleum-based diesel fuel. Investors and entrepreneurs are eager to get an early start in this growth opportunity. Recent developments in the industry have re-emphasized the importance of fuel quality to the continued growth of biodiesel. Chapters on biodiesel specifications, test methods, and engine requirements will help clarify quality issues. Profitability of biodiesel production will continue for those companies that control costs, build efficient plants, stay abreast of new developments, and capture a supply of feedstock. |
