Biodiesel Fuel Workshop
Produced by Solar Energy International
September 9-13, 2002
Learn the fundamentals of this renewable fuel source that can be used in any diesel engine.
Participants will make biodiesel fuel with locally available materials and learn how to make a biodiesel processor to make their
own biodiesel.
A biodiesel/vegetable oil hybrid vehicle will be on site that starts on biodiesel, then once warm will run on straight vegetable oil.
There will also be discussion and practical knowledge on how to convert your own diesel engine.
- How biodiesel is made.
- Materials needed to make a small-scale biodiesel processor.

"Very well done. The connections created at this workshop could very well "fuel" the grassroots biodiesel movement in this country."
