It seems almost carbon neutral to me, the plant absorbs carbon from the atmosphere and stocks it in oil form, we extract the oil and produce biodiesel, we then burn it and release the same amount of carbon in the atmosphere. What am I missing? Why does the world seem to go in the direction of abolishing Diesel engines that could be running on almost carbon neutral fuel in favour of cleaner burning but fossil gasoline engines? rather than investing in more biodiesel production and better Diesel engines?
The appraisal for the Reno Biodiesel paint is at least $560 Million, we paid $300 Million. That's +$260 Million in equity. That is based on the plant producing 43 Million gallons a year. Early December I found on RYZE's website the site is capable of producing 25% more at 53,655,000 Gallons a year. One of the recent 8k's confirmed this. This will elevate the appraisal. We could be looking at a +billion dollar company.

Hi, looking at getting a new truck. I'd love to drive a diesel. Are there any places that sell biodiesel at the pump? I know the state is transitioning to a bio-blend (so is CA), but I'm looking to run on fry oil.
Cenex's website mentions biodiesel but I don't know if they sell it. Looks like the nearest confirmed station is in Spokane, so not sure it's feasible.
EDIT: Spokane location sells barrels
Thanks.
I have a post-apoc world where the world is experiencing runaway global cooling. It's not a complete "ice age," the world isn't completely covered in ice or the like, but the summers are short and mild while the winters are long and harsh. The growing season is therefore relatively short, and they have to supplement it with year-round growing of crops in converted aircraft hangars, powered by modified car engines.
So the question is, what fuel could they reasonably grow and make to keep these engines operational during the long winters (and bitterly cold early spring/late fall)?
For some context, the "apocalypse" was cause by zombies a series of worst case scenarios all lining up. The runaway global cooling was the juggernaut in the background, but it wasn't the sole contributor. So it wasn't like things went to hell all at once. As far as apocalypse scenarios go, you could say it was relatively gradual (places "fell off the grid" over a few years, rather than all at once). That gave people who could see the changing tides a bit of time to prepare, but any non-renewable consumables wouldn't be at the top of their list.
EDIT: I should have added that while summers are short and mild, they still manage to grow crops outside the hangars during the late spring, summer, and early fall months. The hangars are more of a "supplemental/emergency" food supply, one they have to rely on more and more frequently as temperatures are continuing to decline each passing year.
Hello there!
I was reading about running rigs or dump trucks on alternative fuels, and came across this system but hadn't seen much info on it outside of academic and commerical circles. I was curious if anyone had first hand experience with it, or had any other resources so I could learn more about this product (or others like it.)
There is a supplier that sells straight biodiesel in my area, and I was wanting to crunch the numbers to see how long the ROI would be for a dump truck owner operator.
I should add that the truck in question predates emissions equipment, which would likely cut down on complications significantly.
Thanks in advance for your input!
About 16 oz. to offer at the moment.
I can use biodiesel on diesel cars but are there any downsides and does that mean I can have as much fuel as I want as long as I know how to make biodiesel?
This is for a debate about the death penalty I'm doing in school
