Biodiesel

PF Engineers provides technical due diligence on biodiesel projects

• General - Biodiesel is the process of making a fuel similar to diesel fuel. Often times the feedstock is plant based or waste fats, such as cooking oil. This can be processed to produce a fuel that can be used in a diesel engine.
• Experience - We have reviewed a few biodiesel facilities with various feedstocks. We've looked at rape seed oil, jatropha, animal fats, and yellow grease.
• Common Issues - Market risk for feedstock pricing and biodiesel pricing. New entry into the biodiesel space is limited. The market risks are an impediment to entry into this space.
• Risk Mitigants - Ensure that feedstock and biodiesel offtake agreements are in place.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if we can help with your biodiesel project.
