Making On-Farm Biodiesel

[@certainbecil]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a small farm and I am looking for initial crops to plant this year and these videos are very informative, so thank you!

Thanks Burton and glad this video series is able to provide some inspiration. Where do you farm? N.White

Hi When the bio diesel is completed. You have a filter system Can you please give me more detail on the filter system and filter mediums and exactly wat we want to filter at this stage.

hi Paul. Starting with "how much land do i need?", think about a few crops on a 3-4 year rotation that could include sunflowers, soybeans, rye, corn, etc. Look at which of these other farmers are growing in your area, talk with your Extension agent and seek out customers for each of these before you plant! If 40 acres, I'd look at 10 acres each of 4 crops, or 3 crops @ 13 acres ea., so every 3-4 years you're back to where you started. Send us an email for more info to (vtbiofuels"at"vsjf.org)

What about making the methanol on the farm? Is that feasible, safe, legal?

[@lylerobeson8593]

One can use ethanol. The ratio is using twice as much ethanol as methanol. It has some problems such as drying after distillation. Water is the enemy. It can be done. Methanol is usually derived from petroleum.
