How do the costs and availability of beef tallow compare with other animal fats and plant-based feedstocks?

Beef tallow is often cheaper than vegetable oils and widely available in regions with meatpacking industries. It is more expensive than chicken fat, but comparable to pork fat, depending on local supply chains. It requires more pretreatment than plant oils, but its low acquisition cost makes it attractive for biodiesel production. The GlobeCore USB plant supports small and industrial-scale setups, reducing operating costs through automation and low energy use, making beef tallow a viable and cost-effective feedstock.
