LET THEM BURN EARTH!!!

Biodiesel might actually be meaningful, given that diesel prices in particular are way up and soy exports are down.

Biodiesel is commercially available in most oilseed-producing states in the United States. As of 2023, it is less expensive than petroleum-diesel,[1] though it is still commonly produced in relatively small quantities (in comparison to petroleum products and ethanol fuel).

I don’t know how practical it is to scale up production, though. And fertilizer’s probably a global market, so fertilizer prices in the US are going to be up, even aside from Trump’s trade restrictions.

It sounds like some places are looking into it.

Brazil weighs fast-tracking biodiesel tests as diesel prices spike

BRASILIA, April 8 (Reuters) - Brazil’s government is looking at ways to accelerate testing of higher biodiesel blends in diesel, aiming to reach a conclusion this year, the head of ​a soy crushers association said on Wednesday, amid a spike in fuel prices ‌due to the Iran war.
The measure could boost soybean demand in the world’s largest producer of the oilseed, most of which is shipped to China for animal feed. Brazil’s biofuels industry has seized on ​the disruptions to oil and gas supplies in the Middle East as a ​chance to push for higher mandated blends of soy-based diesel and ethanol in ⁠gasoline.

Latin America’s ​largest economy imports about a quarter of the diesel it consumes. ​As Brazilian biodiesel ⁠is now cheaper than diesel, higher blends enhance energy security, Nassar said.
“We have an asset that guarantees energy security and will never be in short supply, as Brazil has abundant feedstock,” he ⁠said. “This ​war could drag on … We need a much shorter ​timeline to complete the tests.”

Indonesia’s B50 Pivot Shows War Is Stoking Global Biofuel Demand

Indonesia’s abrupt pivot to expand its biodiesel mandate is the latest sign of how the war in Iran is reshaping energy policy, tightening global vegetable oil supplies as more gets funneled into fuel.

The world’s top palm oil producer will implement its B50 program — an ambitious target to boost the level of biodiesel blended in its fuel to 50% — starting from July 1, Airlangga Hartarto, coordinating minister for economic affairs announced late Tuesday. The move is part of efforts to mitigate energy supply disruptions wrought by the conflict, with Airlangga saying it could reduce fossil fuel consumption by 4 million kiloliters annually.
