Our pricing policy is simple: price changes with feedstock cost and biodiesel demand.

The components for the biodiesel price are calculated in the following manner in cents per gallon and then converted into a percentage:

Feedstock – Cost for raw materials including fat/oil, methanol, catalyst, filter aid and yield adjustment.

Refining – Cost of manufacturing biodiesel.

Distribution – Cost to deliver fuel to the B100 Community Trail, maintain equipment, and administer transactions.

Taxes – Federal and state taxes applied to biodiesel.
