Abstract:

Asia's biodiesel manufacturers are finding profits elusive in a market characterized by poor demand and rapidly rising feedstock costs. Supplies of biodiesel appear to have outstripped demand in many countries as scores of new plants have come on-stream in response to rising concerns about oil supplies. Initially hailed as an environmentally-friendly fuel, biodiesel is now being heavily criticized as a threat to the region's tropical rain forests.
