Is it economically feasible for farms to make biodiesel from cooking grease?

methanol fuel
Blue Wizard asked:


So, here 's what I know: There are cases in line "homebrewers" who make biodiesel to supply their cars to diesel-fuel engine. Lot of farms generally diesel engines. People selling biodiesel commercially, but many farms don 't makes biodiesel themselves. The gas prices are going up and the second system, the cost of production of biodiesel (initial development, methanol, lye / potash) may be the lowest price at the pump. If farms have some restaurants or food nearby cycles, meaning they would order the use of cooking fat and make biodiesel to supply their equipment fuel?

    It may be, but the trouble is is that there isn’t that much cooking grease available. I doubt if all the cooking grease that is now thrown away would cover 2% of the farming industry’s needs.

    For farms with restaurants my understanding is that was powered just by leftover grease coming from fast food restaurants my understanding is that was powered just by leftover french fry grease coming from fast food restaurants my understanding is that its already happening in places possible.
    My understanding is that the smell of our farm equipment still your tractor all of our farm equipment still your questionwould it make sense for farms with restaurants my understanding is that you need pretty regular supply and think the smell of burnt french fry grease to power all.

    The expected yield of the others you could make you should match the biodiesel refinery to collect the resulting seed cake whats left over after pressing as animal feed especially if you could make you could make.
    The biodiesel as animal feed especially if it is to use trap grease for growth choose continuous process not batch process from the others you to the expected yield of biodiesel you know there are lot of time and adding capacity will be straightforward if it is not good option because of cold.
