Biodiesel In The News
We’re not only about ethanol here at DomesticFuel. How about biodiesel? All these renewable, alternative fuels are getting more and more attention these days. I caught this story in the Gainesville Sun. Hey, I went to college there!
It looks like a group has been formed to promote the use of biofuels and the story starts out describing a lady who is putting homemade biodiesel in her truck. Apparently the biodiesel supply hasn’t developed way down south yet. It’s only a matter of time though.
How about this story in today’s Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette about the local community school system planning to convert their 300 buses to biodiesel? They’re applying for a state grant to pay for the conversion. High fuel prices are helping people realize the common sense in developing and moving to these alternative fuel choices.

While biodiesel is certainly an attractive option, and homebrew biodiesel more so, what is not really clear at this stage is whether it is economically sustainable…and more importantly, can economies of scale bring down the costs significantly, because most of the processes involved in biodiesel production are batch processes, which usually get much less benefits from economies of scale
