In the 2009/2010 season soybean production was 55 million tonnes, of which 36.8 million was allocated to grind, according to the Grain Exchange Buenos Aires. Of this amount, 14 million were used to produce 2.6 million tonnes of biodiesel. It corresponded to the domestic market and exports 1.1 million, 1.5 million.
The biodiesel manufacturing process is as follows: one ton of soybean yields about 20% oil and 80% of flour milling. Then, with a ton of oil can make one ton of biodiesel. "The percentage of milling for the production of biodiesel was 36% in 2010, and this year is expected to maximize impact," said Matthias Amorosi, Technical Research and Development Unit of the Regional Consortia Agricultural Experimentation (CREA). The 14 million tonnes (t) used to make biodiesel account for 26% of the national production of soybean.
biodiesel production plants are in the industrial center of Rosario, Santa Fe, and others work in San Luis, Entre Ríos, Chaco, Santiago del Estero and Neuquén.
The biodiesel industry is composed of oilers large firms, which have 65% of installed capacity, the largest independent (19%) and the independent girls (16%).
The main operators are Unitec BIO (Group Eurnekian) 122 537 t; Viluco (Group Lucci) 117 082 t; Explora (Group Meck) 93 875 t, days 83,203 t; Renova (Grupo Glencore and Molinos Rio de la Plata) 51 016 t; Aripo Fox cereals 50,000 t and 50,000 t Oil, among others.
