Upcoming BioDiesel Workshop!

Biofuels for Energy Independence

This fall Solar Energy International (SEI) is partnering with the Piedmont Biofuels Co-op of North Carolina for a cutting edge, 5-day comprehensive hands-on Biodiesel workshop. Learn the fundamentals of this alternative fuel source that can be used in any diesel engine. For industrial producers as well as the general public, participants will make biodiesel fuel with locally available materials, visit existing small scale production plants, and learn from top biodiesel industry specialists.

Topics will include Biodiesel chemistry, production, business models, technology, overview of diesel engine mechanics, quality testing, legislation, other types of biofuels, and more. The hands-on component allows participants to experience the joy of making their own fuel from locally available materials. We will also be touring Piedmont Biofuel?s farm and production facility.

The workshop begins Monday October 1st, ending Friday the 5th. The class will be held at the Central Carolina Community College in Pittsboro, North Carolina. Tuition cost for the 5-day workshop is $700.
