Small-scale biodiesel production economics can vary substantially depending on an individual producer choice of feedstock, equipment, market, and the value of his or her time. However, several key issues affect all small scale producers. Oil. Small-scale biodiesel processors may be able to collect oilseeds or waste oil for very little expense.
