Cost Breakdown
Cost Breakdown
A simple breakdown of the cost of producing biodiesel.

WVO or SVO* £ 0.00 - £ 0.45
Methanol £ 0.08
Catalyst £ 0.002
Water £ 0.003
Electricity £ 0.008
Wages** £ 0.04
Fuel duty*** £ 0.3035 (no duty payable under 2,500 Litres per annum)

Total cost per litre £ 0.15 - £0.86

Assuming a price of £ 0.98 ppl for mineral diesel, our smallest 150LE processor would save £ 72.00 per batch. At this rate the 150LE processor will pay for itself in under 3 months! You will then be saving around £ 20,000 per year on your fuel bill.

You can easily multiply these savings for our bigger systems. Just imagine how much you would save with our 600LE processor.
* WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) can be collected free or bought for anything up to £ 0.30 ppl. SVO (Straight Vegetable Oil) can be brought it bulk, or pressed directly from seed. Oil prices are estimated as prices vary from region to region, depending on your source.

** Wages are calculated at £ 6.00 p/h. We have included wages in the costing as you may designate your staff members to use the processor.

*** Fuel duty is fixed at £ 0.3035 ppl, If you're producing less than 2,500 Litres / annum, no duty is payable. For more details of how you pay duty etc, please see our FAQ pages.
