The present paper shows the economics viability of a half-industrial plant, operating with the transestherification in vegetal oil transformation or animal fats to biodiesel. The pilot plant needed an investment of R$ 400,000.00, and it showed viable with 99.99 percents of efficiency, with feeding of 100 kg per hour of raw material working in only 12 hours daily at 25 days per months. It was considered the more usual economic analysis tools, as payback, internal rate of return and net present value.

Keywords : biodiesel; transestherification; economic viability.
