What factors influence the cost-effectiveness of producing biodiesel from olive oil on a large scale?

Key factors include the cost of olive oil, availability of surplus or waste-grade oil, processing efficiency, and byproduct utilization. While virgin olive oil is costly, using used cooking olive oil or press residue can enhance viability. The GlobeCore USB plant boosts cost-effectiveness through energy efficiency, low maintenance, and methanol recovery features. Its scalability allows producers to match capacity to local supply and demand.
