A critical cost benefit analysis of oilseed biodiesel in Canada

20 Apr 2006

These strategies include the growth of oilseed on minimum inputs to maximize producer margins; the production of biodiesel from distressed canola and other oilseed; the production of biodiesel from weed seeds and screenings; the production of biodiesel from GMO seeds and planting seeds; and, the production of biodiesel from plants grown on land contaminated by heavy metals, hydrocarbons or other t [...] The protein meal will require transport and storage and it is expected that the availability of protein meal may 1) impact domestic production of livestock and the need to export the excess product and 2) decrease the need for less than half of the displaced grain transportation. [...] Seed certification often requires the analysis of the seed by a third party laboratory and the preparation of a pedigreed seed declaration by the grower. [...] The impact of a growing biodiesel industry on the seed for planting industry will be related to the oilseed used in biodiesel production and the crop that is displaced. [...] The income and value of the seed to the industry is highly dependent on the approach taken.
