No one can anticipate the supply meeting the demand in the next 15 years and there will likely be a massive shift from gasoline to diesel power during this time frame.
Who should own a plant?
Any substantial user of diesel should consider owning part* or all of a bio-diesel plant. Here are some examples:
A local trucking company that primarily works “in town” or a smaller area. For example, construction companies, cement trucks, service trucks (carpet cleaning, dry cleaners, etc.).
Equipment companies. Construction companies.
Municipalities.
Farmer cooperatives.
Restaurants (who have the used cooking oil). A company doesn’t needed to be a user to benefit because the demand is so huge for the finished product.
Who should have an exclusive plant?
A company that uses approximately 1 to 2 million gallons a year.
Who should own a co-op plant?
A company that uses a minimum of 50,000 gallons a year should consider owning part of a co-op plant.
Who should not own a plant?
Anyone with less than $50,000 to invest.
Companies whose transportation needs are primarily coast to coast.
What type of savings will an owner of a plant enjoy?
Typical savings are over $1.00 a gallon.
