Biodiesel Trading

Spectron is ideally placed to assist in trading biodiesel, our brokers bring years of experience to anyone seeking to do business in the biodiesel trading marketplace

Biodiesel is a crop derived fuel most often used as a supplicant to petroleum-based diesel. It is easy and inexpensive to produce, can be produced through re-processing by-products such as cooking oil and can also be produced from sustainable crops such as soy, tallow, palm, coconut and canola oil.

It is far cleaner burning than petroleum-based diesel and the presence of even 10% biofuel keeps engines cleaner, raises fuel efficiency and raises the octane of the diesel.

Biodiesel trading typically happens in one of three ways: truck, rail or vessel. Most transactions are executed at the seller's plant.

The markets for biodiesel are:

  • West Coast
  • Midwest
  • Gulf Coast
  • East Coast

Some of the most common feedstocks used to make biodiesel are:

  • Canola
  • Cotton Seed
  • Palm Oil
  • Soy Bean Oil
