The article claims that they're making ethanol, not biodiesel (they compare their process to algae-generated biodiesel as the closest in terms of efficiency).

Given that, 20,000 gallons of ethanol x 76,100 BTU/gallon x .000293 kwh/BTU = 446,000 kwh, or about 6% efficiency. Could still be a scam, but more plausible.
