While the technology etc certainly allows for production, I'm concerned more with capacity - there's not exactly a lot of fish & chip shops left with used vegetable oil and has been mentioned, agricultural capacity is likely to be focused squarely on food production.

With the restrictions on pure biofuel production, channelling waste materials into alcohol (as poor a fuel for heavy machinery as it may be IRL) makes a fair bit of sense.
