transportation distance in kilometers [71]. Therefore, the transportation
cost for one load (60 m3) of vegetable oil is approximately
$820. Once the HDRD plant size increases beyond 580 million L/
year (10,000 bbl/day), the transportation cost for oil increases because
the census divisions that are close to Redwater cannot supply
enough oil to run the plant so oil must also be sourced from
areas of Alberta farther away from Redwater. Since camelina is
not currently available in Alberta on a commercial scale, it is not
possible to realistically assess how camelina oil transportation
costs would change with HDRD plant size. Therefore, for HDRD
production from camelina, the oil transportation costs on a $/L basis
were assumed to be the same as they are for canola oil.
