RE: [biofuels-biz] what is the best source of raw material for producingbiodiesel...

[Mike Brownstone]

I'm 
not the expert but, from my limited experience and readings, it appears that the 
conversion of different oils into biodiesel is similar in percentage return and 
performance.  I say similar because there certainly are variations but I 
doubt they amount to more than 20%.  I would go with the cheapest and 
least complicated.
 
Anybody disagree?

  all,I have an economic problem:Observing the prices of 
  different oils on Agro Exchange (e.g in Rotterdam) I found thatdifferent 
  oils have different prices:For example:  Rapeseed oil: cost 430 
  Euro/tonneCoconut oil:      
        230 Euro/tonneSoyebean 
  oil:            355 
  Euro/tonneWhich means that the best source for biodiesel should be the 
  cheapest oil.It is really the case ?  What are differences (if any) 
  of biodiesels produced from different oils ???Can anyone from the group 
  attempt to address this issue , please
