Tom, Camillo reckons 250,000 gal/yr is too small to be economic based on European experience. Please bear in mind that Europeans enjoyed a lot of EU financial support and possibly illegal tax breaks in their home markets. Therefore they did not have to hone costs in anything like the way you have done at Yellow. I would suggest you could be right in thinking this is a good size, looking at the Australian and British scenes, which started later and had to be leaner with far less financial help. My second point is that this forum is very concious of promising research into new and better pathways for triglyceride to ester conversion, so it would take a brave person to invest heavily in yesterday's technology. This is not meant as any sort of slight on Camillo's offering nor on the appropriateness of reminding us of it. Indeed, the same could be said of Pacific's technology as mentioned by Keith.
