Biodiesel Feedstock and Production Technologies: Successes
However, the use of hydro-energy consumes large resources coupled with the inefficiencies of the steam engine where only about 10 to 12% efficiency is derived from new power generation plant. A patent for an efficient thermal engine which was to be operated on peanut oil was filed in 1892 by Rudolph Diesel in Germany.

Economics of Small-Scale Biodiesel Production – Farm Energy
If methanol costs $3.00 per gallon, then each gallon of biodiesel contains about $0.60 of methanol. An increase or decrease of $1.00 per gallon in the price of methanol changes the production cost of biodiesel by $0.20. Methanol costs are a non-trivial portion of biodiesel production costs.
