Who was the main push behind biofuel in the US. Is it because our federal government isn’t endorsing it as much as other renewables? It’s a good question Shaun

Because we didn’t have a mountain of corn to work through?

Not enough?

Because it’s a market that can’t stand on its own, needs a government prop ??

GFO was always a strong supporter of biofuels and the Canola groups have long worked on biodiesel scale up.

In the west we don’t have good ethanol economics without huge govt support. Corn yields not high enough, and not enough nearby cattle for volume of DDG produced. Lanigan model best b/c low nat gas cost without drying Distillers Grain
