THE ECONOMY OF THE PRODUCTION CHAIN OF BIODIESEL FUEL

Marijan Andrašec

Sažetak

Abstract
The biodiesel fuel production chain as a renewable energent encompasses production from the feed – rapeseed – to the fuel’s application in diesel engines. Technological, economic, and market complexes are as follows: rapeseed production, rapeseed oil production, cattle food production out of rapeseed cake, rapeseed oil methyl ester production, vegetable-based diesel fuel production or as mixture with mineral diesel fuel, diesel fuel application in various engines of economic and passenger vehicles, fuel transportation and storage, biodiesel fuel environmental impact.
Croatia has initiated biodiesel fuel production with expectations of economic, social, and environmental effects, after the model of other European countries. Biodiesel fuel is market-applicable in competition with mineral fuels only if the entire production chain shows economic properties making state intervention/support socially acceptable. The paper shows in some detail the production sequence economy, as well as organizational model of the project’s implementation.
