Hi all,
I was thinking about all of this the other night and I came so a bit of a negative outcome.
I wondered "If the world could convert to Biodiesel".
I was thinking about how many crops would need to be planted, how much area would this would take up, how many processing plants would need to be built or modified from the current infrastructure.
I can see over time as people start competing over the taking of WVO, a price will be attached to it (thus starting to negate the cost saving of biodiesel). And lets say, there is enough land and farmers to produce SVO, what happens to the prices if a few farmers have a bad crop and a few others have their crop wiped out by acts of god.
Does anyone know if there has been a large scale study of the feasability of biodiesel in the future with regards to the points I've raised here. I wouldn't be surprised if biodiesel fuel ended up be as expensive, if not more so as Petro-diesel.
Does anyone think differently.
