In order to make biodiesel you must have waste/new vegetable oil (there are other feedstock to evaluate but for the most part, a steady source of vegetable oil is ideal). Also, your production will only be as consistent as your supply of oil. Therefore, waste vegetable oil is absolutely crucial to your success as a biodiesel fuel producer.
We can discuss all aspects of biodiesel until the cows come home, however, it can only become reality by sourcing your feedstock. That is why PNE provides a line of collection bins to be placed at the source of your used oil. This allows for convenient collection by your source customer and pick-up. One of PNE's fundamentals calls for the biodiesel production to take place at or as close as possible to the source of oil. Because the disposal of waste vegetable oil is spread throughout many large geographical regions, it is most cost-effective to build biodiesel plants that are designed specifically to accommodate a certain geographical area. This allows biodiesel production to be very profitable by eliminating most of the transportation costs of shipping massive amounts of feedstock to one giant processing location. Ideally, you will only travel to pick up waste vegetable oil then transport it back to a local BioBox facility. This accomplishes two main goals:
1) The cost of your feedstock will be isolated to expenses incurred to pick up WVO from
restaurants, etc.
2.) Avoid the ethanol debacle. Ethanol's main weakness has shown to be that its profitability is tied to the commodity price of the feedstock. For example, corn is used in the production of ethanol. When the price of corn soars, the cost of ethanol will have to soar as well or the business loses money.
By picking-up your own oil, the biodiesel business model is complete. You will be able to avoid many of the pitfalls associated with alternative energy production and develop a business that essentially owns its own oil fields.
