undersigned's capacity as a greater than 10% stockholder of
BioFuel Energy Corp. (the "Company"), Forms 4 and 5 in accordance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the

(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on the undersigned's behalf
which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any
such Form 4 or 5 and timely file such form with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

(3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with
the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may
be to the undersigned's benefit, in the undersigned's best interest,
or legally required of the undersigned, it being understood that the
statements executed by such attorney-in-fact on the undersigned's
behalf pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form
and shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact

The undersigned hereby further grants to each such
attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform any
and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary or proper
to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein
granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned
might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that
such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes,
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of
Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.  Each of the
undersigned hereby acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact,

the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by
the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Power of
Attorney to be duly executed as of this 27th day of May, 2011.
