Biodiesel good news for Developing Nations

Thailand, Uruguay, Ghana...the list is growing. These developing countries represent a list of countries that have the biggest potential to manufacture biodiesel. These countries were selected based on their current ability to export massive amounts of oil. This time though we are not speaking of crude oil, this data is based on each country's ability to export vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is a product that can be easily converted into biodiesel. Biodiesel can in turn be used to run generators, and vehicles in place of gasoline. Matt Jonhston for the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE) states that, "Based on current export volumes of vegetable oil from 119 countries, a grand total of 51 billion liters of biodiesel could be produced annually—enough to meet roughly 4-5 percent of the world's existing demand for petroleum diesel." This form of energy burns cleaner in the environment, and can be replaced quickly and easily. The bonus for the developing country is that they simply need to put a small commodity of the vegetable oil that they are already producing for export and in turn refine it into biodiesel. These returns could mean millions to a developing countries economic budget.
