It takes roughly 7.3 pounds (3.3 kg) of soybean oil to produce one gallon (3.8 liters) of biodiesel. This translates to about 50 pounds (22.7 kg) of whole soybeans, as soybeans are around 18–20% oil by weight. Efficiency varies with seed quality and oil extraction technology. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant ensures nearly full conversion of available oil into biodiesel, minimizing losses and maximizing fuel yield, making the process more economically and agriculturally sustainable.
