US Biodiesel Board Sees 'Cooling Off Period'
01.16.08
In Illinois, the CEO of the National Biodiesel Board Joe Jobe said there would be a "cooling off period" in US biodiesel capacity development following a period of "irrational exuberance".
Jobe cited fast-rising feedstock prices as the problem, saying they have reduced biodiesel margins to an average of minus 30 cents a gallon. Soybean oil rose to 54 cents a pound this week, more than double the price in 2005.
Jobe said 100 new plants have been built in the US in the past two years, bringing total industry production to 450 million gallons in 2007, up from 25 million in 2004.
