This fall Solar Energy International (SEI) is partnering with Piedmont Biofuels Coop 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 grassroots brewers, the workshop will examine the emerging world biodiesel markets.

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. 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.
