Bio-diesel
• Needs expensive equipment• Uses a large amount of energy *• French trials demonstrate success of 5% RBD Sun
Oil blends• Government refuses to de-fiscalise• Perhaps Mr. Costello would listen to Australian
farmers in the case for 5% Canola oil to be blended without excise

Australia an Oleo Chemical Exporter
• Symex currently exports 77% of production• Australian market is not big enough• Globally competitive
– Raw materials– Energy– Freight
Australia an Oleo Chemical Exporter
• Raw Materials- tallow is currently only player
– Competitively priced with palm stearin– Rich in oleic acid– Low PUFA’s
• Opportunities– High lauric canola fatty alcohols– High erucic canola or Crambe erucicamides
Australia an Oleo Chemical Exporter
• Energy– Oleo chemical production is energy intensive– Australia enjoys abundant and therefore cheap natural
gas supplies– Labor less important than energy
Australia an Oleo Chemical Exporter
• Freight– Imports all in containers– Exports in bulk ships– Surplus of equipment that needs to be returned– Location closest to largest port is an advantage
Global Oleo Chemical Market
• Raw Materials– European tallow more expensive as more is used for
fuel– North Asian players need to import their tallow– SE Asian players have advantage of tropical oils
Global Oleo Chemical Market
• Energy– Natural gas prices have tripled in US– Asian countries net importers– Chinese infrastructure struggling to cope
• (particularly electricity during summer)
Global Oleo Chemical Market
• Freight– Internal freight costs in USA soaring
• Fuel costs• Driver regulations
– Chinese industry spread along 2,000 km of coast
