Have just read the previous posts on prices people are paying in Brisbane for methanol - gee.
I am located in the Mount Isa area of Central North-Queensland and have become interested in having a go at making some biodiesel here. Collecting supplier information here has revealed a few challenges.
Methanol from the BP suppler in Cloncurry has an indicated price of $880 for a 44gal drum. They will confirm quote next week.
Potassium Hydroxide - no supplier found to date.
Can anyone indicate the name of anyone that I can contact re. testing the finished product.
Guess it is going to be a long slow process just getting the materials together - but if it was easy everyone would be doing it. The distances here are vast - eg 3 days drive to Brisbane - so there would be a demand for biodesel at a price.
Will update this as I get further along.
Anyone reading this from Central/North Queensland is also welcome to reply and we can talk about getting together.
