Non Technical Summary This proposed project is motivated by the rapidly growing interest in biofuels in Vermont and across the U.S., the promising potentials of biodiesel for providing renewable energy and improving farm profitability in Vermont, and the great need for information on the economic feasibility for Vermont farmers to grow oilseed crops and produce biodiesel.
Feasibility of on-farm or small scale oilseed
The feasibility of farm-scale biodiesel production from oilseed crops has been investigated for oilseed- producing regions [8] and processing oilseeds into biodiesel is an emerging area of
The feasibility of farm-scale biodiesel production from is an emerging area. According to University of Vermont Extension (UVM), production of oilseed crops is rare and small-scale oilseed and on-farm biodiesel production remain largely unproven concepts. Grubinger, V. 2012. Technical feasibility of small-scale oilseed and on-farm
Technical and Economic Feasibility of Biodiesel
This study investigates the technical and economic feasibility of producing biodiesel and livestock feed from Vermont oilseeds at a farm scale and a commercial scale. Technical feasibility at the farm scale is assessed using data from two Vermont farms. Enterprise budgets are used to assess the economic feasibility and profitability of
these enterprises have demonstrated the feasibility of farm-scale, diversified oilseed production and processing in the Northeast. Using the Vermont Oilseed Cost and Profit Calculator,2 this report endeavors to address the following questions: How many acres of

The Vermont Bioenergy Initiative, a program of the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund, aims to foster the sustainable bioenergy through a local production for local use model, proven to work for Vermont. Since 2003 the program has allowed Vermont farms to ease their resilience on inconsistently priced, foreign fossil fuels and other agricultural inputs.

Technical and Economic Feasibility of Biodiesel Production in Vermont: Evidence From a Farm-Scale Study and a Commercial-Scale Simulation Analysis. May 2009. Christopher W. Callahan,A Feasibility Analysis of a Mobile Unit for Processing Oilseed Crops and Producing Biodiesel in
Goals / Objectives The primary focus of this proposal is to perform economic feasibility analysis of a large scale off-farm high oil seed based fuel ethanol production in North Carolina under a cooperative setting. This will be achieved through the following specific objectives: (1) to conduct an analysis of the structure and functions of a profitable producer and value-added cooperative for
- Can biodiesel be produced from oilseed crops?
- The feasibility of farm-scale biodiesel production from oilseed crops has been investigated for oilseedproducing regions and processing oilseeds into biodiesel is an emerging area of knowledge and experience.
- Is biodiesel a strategy for reducing rising fuel prices?
- On-farm oilseed processing and biodiesel production is often considered as a possible strategy to mitigate the impact of rising fuel prices . Momentum is gaining for raising oilseed crops like sunflowers, canola, and soybeans to make biodiesel for fuel and oilseed meal for livestock, in addition to being sold as crops . ... ...
- Can crude glycerol purification improve the profitability of biodiesel production?
- All these processes are very expensive and economically unavailable for the smaller biodiesel producers, so it is important to develop cost-effective methods of crude glycerol purification, which could improve the profitability of biodiesel production .
