Recently, the huge emission of carbon dioxide from coal and petroleum products is an environmental issue; the promotion of renewable bio-energy which can be a substitute of fossil fuel became a vivid instrument to mitigate the global warming effect. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the projects of utilizing waste edible oil and Jatropha oil to produce bio-Diesel in economic aspects in Taiwan. The study result indicates that the waste edible oil project is more appropriate for the considerations of the secure supply of the local raw materials and the demand for local market; the net present value of the project is 19,327,767 NTD (New Taiwan Dollar), the internal rate of return is 12.02%, and cost-price is 23.73 NTD per liter. The Jatropha oil project is feasible only with the revenue of trading carbon credit and a larger production scale of 37,854 kilometric liters, its net present value with carbon credit is 44,347,501 NTD, internal rate of return is 14.03%, but a higher cost-price of 23.75 NTD.
