Where will the biodiesel come from?
Like petroleum, biodiesel is an openly traded commodity, so it could come from whichever supplier offers the lowest price. However, there is more than enough biodiesel produced in the US to meet the nation’s needs. Presently, there are 5 suppliers in California producing over 21 million gallons per year. Furthermore, it is anticipated that California growers’ proximity to market will enable them to provide a lower-cost feedstock than that grown and shipped from other states.
