Excellent book if you are trying to create a biodiesel business. It contains IP information, industry history, cost analyses, chemical reactions and how to do it, etc. I've heard from practitioners that it is the bible of biodiesel production. The author, a professor at the University of Idaho, is one of the pioneers in developing the industry. It's a great help for the dissertation.
