This study assesses the economic potential of biodiesel production in the Willamette Valley for six oilseeds as potential feedstocks: canola, flax, camelina, yellow mustard, sunflower, and safflower. We evaluate costs and returns from feedstock production, oilseed crushing, and biodiesel processing. Our analysis is based on the best available information on cost of production, yield, other technical parameters, market prices, and government subsidies and tax credits.
