Biodiesel Update

Written on March 28, 2011 by admin in Biodiesel News

Biodiesel Samples are on the rise and it appears producers are sending in more samples in March 2011 than in the first two months.

It is exciting to see more biodiesel samples coming in. Hopefully, the production of biodiesel will be back to normal levels again.

From the companies I have read and spoke with, it appears this summer we should begin to see biodiesel production levels increasing again.

Today, a number of biodiesel plants are trying to work through shut-down issues that occurred in 2009-2010 and starting up those processes again.

Also, heck out the March 28, 2011 Post on NewsMidwestLabs.com regarding glycerin testing. Biodiesel appears to be making a comeback in the first quarter of 2011. Hopefully, this time it’s a lasting change.
