ElM, I ran tallow ester trials quarter of a century ago in Wellington in a truck fleet. Among other things. Forget about it. Technologically, it works, economically, it doesn't.

Note that they say biofuels requires government support. I don't see why one person, using petrol, should pay for a green maniac who wants to use an expensive fuel.

The Greenies would argue that the cost of the greenhouse effect is not applied to the fossil hydrocarbon, so the biofuel should get a credit. I think the fossil hydrocarbon is preventing the world freezing up. We need more CO2, not less. Plants love it. Biofuel growers benefit from the free CO2 my petrol, electricity production, and jet fuel produce. I should get a tax credit for saving the world from its natural frozen state and providing food for the Greenies plants.

It's all deja vu ElM. Saudi Arabia and others will cut their prices and that'll be the end of biofuel for another quarter century.
