Colorado Grants Assist Farm-scale Biodiesel Projects

The Colorado Agricultural Value Added Development Board, part of the Colorado Department of Agriculture, awarded $150,000 in Advancing Colorado’s Renewable Energy grants to two biodiesel-related projects.The facility will produce 100,000 gallons of biodiesel per year. The location for the facility hasn’t been finalized, but it might be built at the USDA Agricultural Research Service’s Central Great Plains Research Station in Akron, Colo. There, dryland canola and camelina oilseeds from test fields would be crushed for use as a straight vegetable oil fuel or converted into biodiesel to be used in research center tractors.
