The main activity of Biofuels is the large scale production and exploitation of biodiesel and glycerine following the construction and commissioning of the initial plant.

Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and, as an environmentally friendly product, can make a significant contribution towards reducing green house gases and meeting Kyoto targets.

Nice tick up. DOO heading south.

We seem to be up of the lows of yesterday. I think if the market can hold today, then we might have seen a solid bounce.

Sold my DOO yesterday and am very glad.

If anyone wants an example of having (and more Importantly Implementing It) a tight stop loss then I think this has been It.

BFC have re-vamped their web site. Some upto date pictures too.

About time we saw a blue day!!

Another large protected sell went through last night after 16:30, but the market still opened up. Looks promising. It we can do the same thing today tomorrow morning, then we're really on the way.

Hopefuly the bad run is over and now we see the rise.

Im not sure if this has been posted on here before but its a good site to check out, I belive BFC are part to the cluster.

The only fuels company listed as a member is Petroplus, wilbs. Surprised not to see BFC and DOO both in there.

My mistake. I misread an article on the web about BFC and Northeast biofuels.

Charts saying bottom reached for the moment being.

Signs:
1- Second day on the up

5- As ussual after a large drop, there is a bounce back

Thanks, Master RSI for that positive note.

Well today is the first day in a while that there has been no huge sells going trough after hours. So I think it's safe to assume that it's mostly upside from here. The buyers have been out in strength and soaked up all the excess stock that's been hanging around since the 2.30 issue.

Of course, please do not take this as investment advice, if it drops down to 70p tomorrow then i'm going to have to eat my words!!!

Got a mention in shares mag this week.

The share price has slumped from above 300p in mid-March so stop
lossers would have sold at around 255p at the end of March for a
substantial profit on the tip price of 116p on 7 October 2004.
The project update announcement on 29 April really put the skids
under the price, since when it has more than halved. The biodiesel
plant will take around a month longer than expected to build but should
start full production by the end of September.
The sting in the tail was the failure to secure biodiesel contracts in
Germany as the price has fallen. But UK prices have risen so, assuming
contracts are put in place, the outlook is still good.

Subject: RE: Queries

Thank you for your response Bob
I take it Collins Stewart will be addressing his note on the cost issue to
the London Stock Exchange?
will the fuel be taxed in the same way diesel is or are you being offered
tax breaks because of the renewable nature of the fuel?
I understand there is a challenge to the patent surrounding the production
technology. Do you think this is going to become an issue?
.....and finally, supposing production were to increase in future years, are
the crops in limitless supply?

best regards

-------------------------------

ok dealing with your points:

the note if issued will be sent to Collins Stewart clients
the success relies on the 20p tax reduction on biodiesel
no we do not believe that the challenge even if successful will affect our
ability to grow.
probably not but as we are versatile we can use any crop

Hope this helps

Bob

Let's hope the government gives a further reduction in duty on the stuff.

Arable news

Call for biofuel tax breakSource: FWi 28 October 2004

By Julian Gairdner

GORDON BROWN must give the renewable fuels industry a bigger tax break on biodiesel if production from virgin rapeseed oil is to be economically viable.

Dominic Vincent of NEBiofuels said that a further 8p/litre duty rebate was needed, but admitted it was an uphill battle.

He said the cost at the forecourt of biodiesel from oilseed rape is 86.2p/litre based on a rapeseed price of 140/t, compared with the fossil fuel equivalent over the past 12 months of 78.4p/litre.

"We're doing what the Government wants: looking at new markets and creating environmental benefits and economic benefits for the north east," he said.

"But when you mention more subsidy and farmers in the same breath, ministers ask 'why?'."

Construction will soon begin on Teesside of a new 250,000t biodiesel plant, but without the tax rebate, the plant would look to used cooking oil and imported palm oil for feedstock, as opposed to oilseed rape.

The only alternative, said Mr Vincent, was for ministers to adopt a clause in the Energy Act 2004 forcing fuel companies to include a proportion of renewable fuel in their supplies.


Biodiesel cost p/litre

Refined virgin rape oil 29.5
Esterification 10.3
Duty 27.1
Distribution 6.5
VAT 12.8
Total 86.2

Is there a big overhang on these?

Cheers, Madison

No, its just the way I walk.

Sorry Madison, I couldnt resist it.

wilbs

Do you mean the shareprice will go up when you change your posture?

I shall send a personal trainer round.
