grow your fuel &

harvest what you need

Once big corporations latched on to biofuels as a way to make money, ecological considerations were thrown out the window. American plants started making biodiesel from Palm Oil, shipped thousands of miles from huge plantations. Genetically-modified crops were planted and harvested expressly for biofuel production. Factory farms in partnership with animal rendering plants started selling lard as a biodiesel feedstock.

There are better ways to get your fuel. The future of biodiesel can be sustainable. Each year, new processes are invented, and new technology is developed that helps improve the speed and quality of biodiesel, for homebrewers and hobbyists, on up to million gallon per year plants. Reducing and reclaiming chemicals, reusing and recycling "waste", and recognizing social justice... these are all possible for the fuels of the future.

 
 

current projects

Feedstock research is a complicated task, muddled by corporate press releases and questionable science. We've started talking to farmers throughout the U.S. who are currently growing a variety of crops for feed and oil pressing, explicitly for biodiesel production.
