Our Mission:

• to educate our students and community about energy conservation, recycling, and alternative fuel production
• to raise awareness and use of carbon neutral alternative fuels
• to produce biodiesel and incorporate the use of other alternative energy sources  

Our Primary Focus: Biodiesel

Benefits of Biodiesel:
There are many benefits of using biodiesel rather than petroleum based diesel. Biodiesel is a renewable resource that is significantly cleaner that traditional diesel.

Now Lets learn about BioDiesel.  What is it exactly?

• Biodiesel emits up to 100% less sulfur dioxide, a major component of acid rain, and 80-100% less carbon dioxide than traditional diesel.
• Biodiesel reduces smoke particulates up to 75%.
• Pure biodiesel is biodegradable and breaks down as fast as sugar.
• Biodiesel breaks down four times faster than regular diesel, with most of a spill broken down only 28 days later.
• Biodiesel is safer to transport and handle, because it has a higher flash point (greater than 150C) than traditional petroleum (77C), and is non-corrosive for human contact.
• Since biodiesel can be used in conventional diesel engines, the renewable fuel can directly replace petroleum products; reducing the country's dependence on imported oil.
