NW Biodiesel Network Monthly Meeting

Sustainable Biodiesel
Many biodiesel foes rail about the food vs. fuel. Biodiesel can and is being made sustainably. Many focus on biodiesel made from soy and canola oil. They fail to understand that the crops are grown as animal feed so people can enjoy their steaks and pork chops. The oil is a byproduct of this primary purpose of the crop.

Feedstocks that avoid this controversy completely are waste vegetable oil/tallow, biomass and algae.

Yale Wong, CEO of General Biodiesel, will talk about using waste vegetable oil/tallow to produce biodiesel. Kelly Ogilvie, CEO of Blue Marble Energy, will address producing energy from biomass and algae. Kelly will also address where we are with Algae and when we can expect it as a feedstock for biodiesel production. We look forward to Yale and Kelly updating us on the exciting recent developments that are taking place at their companies. Get your questions answered!

7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Seattle Phinney Center, 6532 Phinney Ave. N, Seattle WA 98103. Cost is Free. Information at www.nwbiodiesel.org/.
