Readers of this blog are familiar with the biofuel incident trend that I have written about in previous posts.

Based on what I have researched, the incident frequency of a fire/explosion in biodiesel plant is 10 weeks, i.e. every two and half months there is a fire or explosion in a biodiesel plant within the US. So every year we should have around 5 biodiesel fire/explosion incidents.

This year has been bad for biodiesel and with production levels dropping I expected fewer incidents.

My last post on biodiesel incidents [Biodiesel Accident Trend Continues in 2010] was in August of this year, about biodiesel plant fires in June and July.

This Saturday, 11th December, there was a fire at Soy Energy’s Biodiesel plant in Pensylvania.

Hopefully this is the last biodiesel incident for 2010.

Is it still not time for Bio-PSM?
