B100 - A Rose By Any Other Name ...
In the past The Biodiesel Station has stopped selling B100 when the ambient temperatures approached the Gel Point of its B100.  This year rather than completely ceasing the sale of B100, The Biodiesel Station will blend fossil diesel with its B100 to mitigate the cold weather properties of B100.  Therefore, the B100 Biodiesel sold at The Biodiesel Station is NOT B100, but a blend of fossil diesel and Biodiesel.  To further assure Customers of the fuel's applicability for their specific climate, the COLD FILTER PLUG POINT temperature is clearly indicated on the bowser.  This fuel may not comply with the Australian Biodiesel Standard, and based on the CFPP temperature indicated on the bowser, a Customer must make a decision whether this fuel is appropriate for their climatic conditions.

Pongamia Seeds
In the past, the raw materials used to produce Biodiesel have been considered as low value commodities.  A change in demand, has seen the cost of raw materials used in the production of Biodiesel skyrocket. Used cooking Oil (UCO) once fetched $300 per ton, and now sells for $900-$1,000 a ton.  Edible tallow that is approacing a 300% increase from $400/t to current $1000-$1,100/t.  Palm Oil is selling for $1,200/tonne, and Canola $1,600-$1,800/t.
