Current biodiesel production capacity in Australia is about 18 million litres per year, however plans for establishment of new facilities or expansion of existing ones will increase this capacity to around 90 million litres per year. For example in Wyong NSW, Australian Biodiesel Consultancy and Collex are currently operating a trial biodiesel plant, using recycled cooking oil and tallow that produces 15 million litres per year. In WA, Australian Renewable Fuels has a plant which produces 40 million litres of biodiesel per year. It uses low grade tallow and used cooking oils as feedstock and will also annually produce 6,000 tonnes of raw glycerine and 1,800 tonnes of sulphate of potash fertiliser in paste form. It is using an improved production technology called a Continuous Trans Esterification Reactor (CTER) that reduces processing time and can reduce plant capital costs by up to 50%.
