Is it really possible to transform everyday cooking oil into safe and reliable fuel? Yes—and in this popular class you’ll learn everything you need to run your vehicle on 100% biodiesel: testing the fuel, brewing the biodiesel, washing it, filtering it, and putting it in your vehicle. In this hands-on class, you’ll also learn: How to make fuel from fresh vegetable oil or restaurant waste oil; How a biodiesel processor works; How to maintain your biodiesel vehicle.

Manufactured biodiesel processors can cost anywhere from $1500 to $7000. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build your own, small-scale (~40 gallon) biodiesel processor from start to finish using materials that cost less than $700! The first five students who sign up will have the option to bring their materials to build a processor in class (contact us for more details). Or, if you prefer, learn by assisting someone else. You’ll learn how to use and maintain a processor and test out a new processor by making a fresh batch of biodiesel fuel.

One of the major issues for project developers is the sourcing of feedstock. First generation biofuels used food crops but there was concern about land use. Second generations plants use non-food crop sources but public opinion is not great. Feedstock supply is also an issue. Europe uses lots of biofuels but does not have the space to grow the feedstock. Alternative fuels are supposed to be more environmentally friendly but shipping the feedstock half way around the world increases your carbon footprint. Biomass to Liquids 2010 will debate these issues and allow you the opportunity to network with industry experts.
