Shame its only available in CA. If I had a place to store a 500g tote I would haul some back home every year for myself.

This is NOT true. Renewable diesel can be made out of whatever feed stock is available including animal, vegetable and food waste. It's only available in California because it costs about $7/gallon to make and ship from Singapore to California and is then sold for $4. The difference is made up by fuel taxes on petro diesel. It is not economically viable without this scheme. It's still just a drop in the bucket compared to the massive subsidies we provide to petroleum producers.
