Which raw materials are better for Biodiesel?

[yellowmellow Biofuels Forum Newbie Find all posts View Profile Close yellowmellow]

Hello, everyone, I’m a new in the Biodiesel scene
and had done some research on which types of
raw materials to use for Biodiesel.

I am shocked to find out that WVO is not the ideal
choice for biodiesel after reading some of the post
here.

So I guess I am down to Palm or Canola Oil.
My research shows that Palm is much cheaper
to buy as well as quantity wise vs. Canola, Soy,
or Rapeseed.

U.S. use more Soil - Europe use Rapeseed
Asia use Palm???



Any comments would appreciated to the
following concerns:



1. Buy raw materials from U.S. or Overseas??

2. Is Palm OIl better than the rest: quality and price???

3. Should I give WVO a try??




Thank you,

Who said wvo is not ideal??? Go wash your mouth out!!!!

Look use whatever you can it is all good, some oil's are better at different times of the year. Some have more or less power.... oooo

Me Hell I make bio from anything I can pickup and generally it ends up blended wvo/fat in the processor. Cotton seed, Palm Oil etc etc fat yada yada yada
