From the economics of biodiesel to producing it drip by drip at
the University of
Georgia’s biorefinery, the Southeastern Biodiesel Workshop will
cover all aspects of
biodiesel in an upcoming three-day workshop.
Those attending the workshop Nov. 27-29 in Athens, Ga., will
receive training from
industry professionals and academic experts. They’ll learn how
biodiesel is made in
a hands-on production lab and interact with experts and
industry
representatives.
“The Southeastern Biodiesel Workshop is an intensive, detailed
workshop covering
the basics of biodiesel production and use and the issues
related to both,” said Ryan
Adolphson, director of the UGA biomass energy facilities. The
workshop provides information on the biodiesel
industry in a practical
manner suitable for anyone from “experienced biodiesel
producers and users to the
novice just entering the industry.”
Early registration, which must be received by Nov. 1, is $195
for the workshop and
$150 for the biodiesel lab. After that date, the cost is $225
for the workshop and
$175 for the lab.
The workshop is sponsored by the UGA Center for Biorefining and
Carbon Cycling. For more information, visit
